A repository of history a short drive from downtown Albuquerque, Old Town retains the architectural style of the 1700s and is home to more than 150 stores, 25 galleries, plenty of fine restaurants and several museums. Centered around the plaza, it offers 10 blocks of historic adobe buildings. The Pueblo-Spanish style architecture features flat-roofed buildings, soft contours, long porches in the fronts of most buildings and benches often found built into the back walls of the portals.
