Taos Plaza is a center of shops and monuments within the Taos Downtown Historic District in Taos, New Mexico. OverviewThe Taos Plaza is the historic center of the town of Taos. Once a Spanish fortified walled plaza with houses and businesses, it now has a park with shady trees, park benches, and a gazebo surrounded by retail businesses[1][1][2] made of adobe.[3] An anchor of the plaza is the Hotel La Fonda de Taos,[1] which has a small museum of D.H. Lawrence paintings[1] and a restaurant named Joseph's Table with hand-painted floral murals.[4] There is metered parking within the plaza and shopping includes galleries of Native American art and jewelry and souvenir shops.[5][6] The old courthouse and historic Taos jail are located on the north side of the Plaza.[7] It is the central point for a walking tour of the Taos Downtown Historic District, which includes the Ernest L. Blumenschein House, Harwood Museum of Art, Governor Charles Bent House, Taos Inn, John Dunn House, Taos Art Museum, and the Nicolai Fechin House.[8][9] It is located immediately west of the intersection of US 64 (Kit Carson Road) and NM 68.[10] History{{main|Taos Downtown Historic District}}Located in Taos, New Mexico. Spanish settlers began colonization of the Taos Valley in 1616,[11] but the Plaza dates to the late 18th century when the Don Fernando de Taos Land Grant was ceded to Spanish settlers from the Taos Pueblo in 1796 by Don Fernando de Chacon, Governor of New Mexico.[11][12] It and the Taos Pueblo were the terminal points of the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, or King's Highway, from Mexico City.[13] Taos Plaza served for decades as the central meeting place in the valley and survived numerous fires that destroyed several older buildings.[11] Nearby is the home of Charles Bent, who was appointed Governor of New Mexico when it became an American Territory during the Mexican–American War. He was killed by Indian rebels during the Taos Revolt.[12] American flagIn 1861, during the Civil War, Southern sympathizers repeatedly tore down the flag flying over the Plaza. Captain Smith Simpson with the help of Kit Carson, Ceran St. Vrain, and others guarded the flag 24 hours a day. Congress permitted Taos to fly the flag twenty-four hours a day to commemorate the event.[14][15] {{further|United States Flag Code}}TourismTaos Plaza is a tourist destination with many shops displaying Northern New Mexico foods and cultural items, including products made in Taos, chile ristras, packaged food items, Southwestern jewelry, pottery, clothing, leather work, and Native American moccasins and drums.[13] The last week of July brings the Fiestas de Santa Ana y Santiago, a weekend long celebration of the Hispanic heritage of Taos when the plaza is filled with music, food, and dance.[16][17] It begins with a Friday night Mass and includes crowning of a fiesta queen. Other events, many of which are free, are held throughout the year in the plaza,[18] including free music in the summer and Yuletide celebrations in December.[19] GalleryReferences1. ^1 {{cite book|author=Samantha Cook|title=USA|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8iXO1SxFPLsC&pg=PA984|year=2004|publisher=Rough Guides|isbn=978-1-84353-262-0|page=984}} 2. ^{{cite book|title=DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Southwest USA & Las Vegas|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fIWZlM4nMl0C&pg=PA204|date=2 July 2012|publisher=DK Publishing|isbn=978-0-7566-9344-2|page=204}} 3. ^{{cite book|title=Lonely Planet Southwest USA|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KlMdC4X9oXAC&pg=PA334|date=15 September 2010|publisher=Lonely Planet|isbn=978-1-74220-378-2|page=334}} 4. ^{{cite book|author=Paul Eisenberg|title=Fodor's Santa Fe, Taos & Albuquerque|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=X697Yq4gfMEC&pg=PA154|year=2007|publisher=Fodor's Travel Publications|isbn=978-1-4000-1752-2|pages=154–155}} 5. ^{{cite book|author=Paul Eisenberg|title=Fodor's Santa Fe, Taos & Albuquerque|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=X697Yq4gfMEC&pg=PA172|year=2007|publisher=Fodor's Travel Publications|isbn=978-1-4000-1752-2|page=172}} 6. ^{{cite book|author=Active Interest Media, Inc.|title=Collector's Guide|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jdMDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA278|year=2008|publisher=Active Interest Media, Inc.|page=278|issn=1073-2063}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=https://taos.org/what-to-do/guided-tours/walking-tour-of-historic-taos/|title=Walking Tour {{!}} Map and Brochure of the Historical Sites of Taos|website=Taos.org|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-05}} 8. ^{{cite book|author1=Eric B.
