Mystery Door Tumacacori2010 Media: oil on artist's board Size: 12" x 12" Price: $225.00 Tumacacori Mission is a ruin, but a beautiful, evocative ruin, left from Spanish colonial days of the 1700's, one of a chain of sanctuaries built by Father Kino and his monks. The mission was several miles from the fort, and was attacked by Apaches many times. Local herding/agricultural tribal Dine peoples helped the Spaniards build the sanctuary of adobe -- whiting the roof in lime that was fired on the grounds. Then they attended services. |
