About This Vintage Postcard

Standing as a striking architectural anomaly in a city known for its adobe charm, the Scottish Rite Cathedral in Santa Fe captures the eye with its vibrant, sunbaked pink facade and grand Moorish-inspired design. Modeled in part after the legendary Alhambra in Spain, this "pink church" (though actually a Masonic temple) features a monumental crenellated tower and a majestic horseshoe-arched portal. It is a place where history and mystery converge, a sentinel of the high desert that has witnessed a century of changing skies in the Land of Enchantment.
