We were in Taos two years ago but did not visit Ranchos de Taos. It is a relatively small courtyard surrounding San Francisco de Asis Church. Built in the late 18th-century, the church has not been restored making it the oldest "original" in the state. There is a restaurant, gift shops, Andy's Saloon (closed, devistating), residences, and ruins.

Below is the rear of the church. You will see much art work in the galleries of Taos using this
as a subject due, I believe, to the shadow patterns. It was, it is said, a favorite of Georgia O'Keeffe and Ansel Adams.
