This place was MAGIC! And they truly went above and beyond to make everything special. La Hacienda de los Martinez is one of the few northern New Mexico style, late Spanish Colonial period "Great Houses" remaining in the American Southwest. Built in 1804 by Severino Martin (later changed to Martinez), this fortress-like building with massive adobe walls became an important trade center for the northern boundary of the Spanish Empire. The Hacienda was the final terminus for the Camino Real (the royal road) which connected northern New Mexico to Mexico City. To have a wedding in a museum of such American history was an honour - and the employees were so open and welcoming by giving us access to all the rooms and artifacts. It was surreal.
