The Palace of the Governors, located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one of the oldest public buildings in the United States, with a rich and storied history that spans over four centuries. Built in the early 17th century, the Palace served as the seat of government for the Spanish colony of New Mexico, making it one of the oldest continuously occupied public buildings in the country.

Today, the Palace of the Governors is part of the New Mexico History Museum, which showcases the diverse cultural heritage and history of the region. Visitors to the museum can explore exhibits that highlight the unique blend of Native American, Hispanic, and Anglo cultures that have shaped New Mexico's identity over the centuries.

One of the most iconic features of the Palace is its long portal, or covered walkway, which faces the historic Santa Fe Plaza. Here, Native American artisans gather daily to sell their handmade jewelry, pottery, and other traditional crafts, continuing a tradition that dates back to the Spanish colonial era. The Palace of the Governors and the New Mexico History Museum offer visitors a fascinating glimpse into the rich tapestry of New Mexico's past, making it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and cultural explorers alike.
