SANCTUARY: My picture on left, NPS interpretive sign picture on right. I'm sure glad they've been working on restoration over the years. To see more from here check out my video with additional info and pictures: [ youtube video ] (also includes NPS audio).

The sanctuary, still adorned with remnants of the original paints and flourishes, picture frames, and stenciling, can be seen as the heart of the church.

A park ranger does a great job talking about the sanctuary. I found it interesting all the different minerals they used for coloring. https://www.nps.gov/places/tumacacori-c ... ctuary.htm
