Where is Taos Plaza?
In the middle of downtown is Taos Plaza, “The Heart of Taos”. Don Fernando de Taos Plaza was settled by the Spanish colonists more than 300 years ago and still retains its original shape. Taos Plaza is undeniably the main focal point of the Town of Taos. The entire community can gather to enjoy the culture, renew old friendships, and perhaps most importantly encourage new ones. The plaza provides a brief respite from busy lifestyles and activities. Traditional celebrations, live performances, as well as fund raising efforts are plentiful in this lovely town square. Visitors can enjoy art galleries, museums, specialty shops, restaurants – all located in a five block walking area!
