San Ildefonso Pueblo

A 23-mile drive north of Santa Fe will take you to San Ildefonso Pueblo, the most visited northern pueblo in New Mexico and a flourishing art community. San Ildefonso is best known to be the home of the late Maria Martinez who along with her husband, Julian, developed black-on-black pottery. Maria’s work can be seen at the Pueblo museum, located near the church. The pueblo is also known for its natural beauty. Located at the base of the beautiful Black Mesa, the Rio Grande meanders through the pueblo, creating a lush habitat along its banks. San Ildefonso is home to the San Ildefonso Pueblo Museum and the San Ildefonso Fishing Lake and picnic area.
