Palace of the Governors
The Palace of the Governors is the oldest public bulding in continuous use in the United States I was built in 1610 by the Spanish. During the 1680 Pueblo revolt, the native Americans rebelled against their Spanish opressors who had enslaved them and forced their conversion to Christianity. During the interregnum, the natives also used the Palace as a government building. After Spanish rule was restored, the governors of New Mexico (Spanish, Mexican and American successively) occupied the Palace as their residence until 1909 when a new governors mansion was constructed. Since then the Palace has been used as a museum for the state.
