The Loretto Chapel is famous for its “Miraculous Staircase.” Legend holds that, after nine days of intense prayer by the chapel’s nuns, a carpenter appeared at the church to construct this gravity-defying staircase. Then, he mysteriously disappeared. The nuns believe that the unknown man may have been St. Joseph.
Alto Street is several blocks from Santa Fe’s famous Oldest House Museum, but to understand the street’s history, you must also understand the Oldest House’s history. Between the 1600s and 1800s, the Oldest House was home to two sisters believed to be witches. Though often tried as criminals, they had the favor of local politicians who sought their potions for success. One night, a young man named Juan Espinoza came seeking a powerful love potion, leading to events that spiraled out of control. |

Julia Staab is La Posada’s famous ghost. Her story begins in 1865 in Germany when she married Abraham Staab. He brought his bride to Santa Fe, and the two settled into a grand home, running the local social and political circuit. Julia died in 1896 at just 52 years old. But she still 'lives' there!
