Iglesia de San Francisco de Assisi
Costilla County
Iglesia de San Francisco de Assisi is significant for Hispanic Heritage as the central gathering place for the community of San Francisco (La Valley).
The church remains the location for ongoing cultural use and is a site of regular community gatherings. Additionally, the church is a good example of vernacular church constructed for the San Luis Catholic mission churches after World War II. As such, it features concrete block rather than adobe bricks with architectural references to Late Gothic Revival and Mission Revival forms rather than the Early Gothic Revival elements of other mission churches in the region.
