    Pecos National Historical Park is a National Historical Park in the U.S. state of New Mexico about 17 miles (27 km) east of Santa Fe. It was originally designated Pecos National Monument on June 28, 1965.



    It preserves the ruins of Pecos (Ciquique) Pueblo. The first Pecos pueblo was one of two dozen rock-and-mud villages built in the valley around AD 1100 in the prehistoric Pueblo II Era. Within 350 years the Pueblo IV Era Pecos village had grown to more than 2,000 people in its five-storied complex.

    Ciquique was visited by expeditionaries with Francisco Vásquez de Coronado in 1540. The Spanish mission church, Mission Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles de Porciúncula de los Pecos, was built in 1619. A traditional kiva was built in front of the church during the Pueblo Revolt in 1680 as a rejection of the Christian religion of Spanish colonists. The Spanish returned in 1692, the last inhabitants moved to Jemez pueblo in 1838.
