Altarpiece in the La Conquistadora Chapel is in the north transept of the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The chapel is the oldest part of the building, having been incorporated from the previous Parroquia. It was built in 1714-1717. On the altar is the oldest Marian statue in the Americas, entitled La Conquistadora, Our Lady of Conquering Love. The statue was carved from willow tree bark in Spain in the early sixteen hundreds then was brought by Franciscans to Our Lady of Assumption Chapel in Santa Fe in 1626. During the pueblo revolt in 1680 she was rescued from a fire that consumed the chapel and she was taken to Juarez, Mexico. The statue was returned to Santa Fe by the conquistador Don Diego de Vargas in 1692 when he convinced the Pueblo tribes to return Santa Fe back to the Spanish settlers. In 1710 Don Diego de Vargas rebuilt Our Lady of Assumption Chapel for La Conquistadora . That chapel was subsequently incorporated into the present day Saint Francis Cathedral where La Conquistadora remains on display. Her costumes are changed by the liturgical season and feast days and she has a diverse wardrobe. She is the object of persistent devotion to our Blessed Mother. She was crowned Our Lady of Peace by Archbishop Sanchez in 1990.
