Mission Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles de Porciúncula de los Pecos

Mission Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles de Porciúncula de los Pecos
Ruins of the Pecos pueblo and mission church.
Another mission that bore the name Nuestra Señora Reina de los Angeles is the former Nuestra Señora Reina de los Angeles Asistencia in Los Angeles, California.

In 1625, the Mission Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles de Porciúncula ("Our Lady of the Angels of Porciúncula") was constructed outside the walls of the pueblo of Pecos, New Mexico. The church building was destroyed in the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, wherein the Spanish were ejected from New Mexico. After the Spanish reconquest in 1693, a smaller church was built in 1717. The walls of this later church still stand on top of the earlier church's stone foundation.[1]

The ruins are located some 20 miles east of Santa Fe, New Mexico, off I-25 in Pecos National Historic Park.
