Cross of the Martyrs

A short walk up on a paved path will lead you to this Monument in Santa Fe, NM.  There are great views of the Sangre de Cristos and the City of Santa Fe from this vantage point.  Great for sunrise or sunset shots.  The walk is only about 10-15 minutes.  :)  

History: The monument of the Cross of the Martyrs was built to honor the Franciscan friars who died during the Pueblo Revolt in 1680.  There has been controversy over this because there is no monument dedicated to the Natives that were slaughtered in the battle.
