Where is the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument?
A Alaska
B New Mexico
C Texas
The monument preserves a complex of three Spanish missions—Quarai, Abó, and Gran Quivira—built in the 1600s. It is named for the salt deposits found in the region. Hence ‘salinas,’ which translates to ‘salt mines.’ The church ruins featured in our photo are found at Quarai.
The correct answer is New Mexico.
