Presidio Chapel of San Elizario. Spanish troops built a presidio (fort) and chapel at this site during the 1780s to protect settlements in the lower Río Grande Valley downstream from El Paso, Texas. By 1846 the chapel was in ruins, so a new chapel was built in 1853. The village plaza, jail, and other historic adobe structures that reflect Spanish colonial settlement enhance the present chapel, built in 1877. It was dedicated to St. Elzear, a 13th-century French saint. A self-guided walking tour is available. Adjacent to San Elizario Catholic Church, a historical museum contains a number of historical exhibits. The chapel is on the National Register of Historic Places. San Elizario is a historic district.

A Catholic mission church near Tucson, Arizona. The architecture is Spanish Colonial. It is made of white stucco with carved mesquite doors. There are towers on each side of the door, open at the top, with two floors below that have windows and small railed balconies. There are a number of trees and bushes in front of the church. There is another building off to the left.

Feeling smart for this plant arrangement on the front of my freshly painted pink Spanish Colonial.

Popped from moving plants back after the pressure washing and painting. Going to go put an #AlessandroCortin album on and lay down. #floridahome #sanfordfl #spanishcolonial
