The heavy bronze entrance doors were very beautiful. According to Wikipedia, during the restoration of 1986, new doors were created, each with ten bronze panels that portray events in the history of the church in Santa Fe. Donna Quasthoff was the commissioned sculptor.
We took off our caps when we entered the church. We were allowed to take photos inside. :)
We are not Catholics, but I felt very peaceful in this church. :)
