Old Town
Old Town is where Albuquerque began in 1706: a plaza ringed by adobe buildings, with San Felipe de Neri Church on its north side. Today it holds shops, galleries and restaurants, a short walk from several museums.

The villa was laid out in the traditional Spanish way, with a central plaza surrounded by government buildings, homes and a church, and that plaza is today’s Old Town. About ten blocks of historic adobe buildings still stand around it. (Wikipedia)
San Felipe de Neri Church, on the north side of the plaza, dates from 1793 and has been in continuous use for more than 200 years. It is the only building in Old Town proven to date from the Spanish colonial period. (Wikipedia)
Old Town is close to the Albuquerque Museum, the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, Explora and the American International Rattlesnake Museum, and at Christmas it is known for its luminaria displays. (Wikipedia)
