Description
Cross of Burgundy flags frame the moon on a beautiful morning outside the Palace of Governors on the Plaza in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Built in the early 17th century as Spain's seat of government for what is today the American Southwest, the Palace of the Governors chronicles the history of Santa Fe, as well as New Mexico and the region, and is now the state's history museum. It is the oldest continuously occupied public building in the United States.
The Cross of Burgundy is a form of St. Andrew's cross, and was first used in the 15th century as an emblem by the Valois Dukes of Burgundy. Spanish monarchs assumed the emblem in the early 16th century, and it continues to be used in a variety of contexts in a number of European countries and in the Americas.
