Gran Quivera Historic District is a historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
It is within Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument, and lies in both Socorro County, New Mexico and Torrance County, New Mexico.
Without the National Register nomination document, it is unclear whether the listing is for the Gran Quivira ruins (in which case the listing would be somewhat redundant) or for historic 20th century structures such as a visitors center at the site (like how National Park Service structures are themselves recognized as historic sites at various national parks).
The Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument is a complex of three Spanish missions located in the U.S. state of New Mexico, near Mountainair. The main park visitor center is in Mountainair. Construction of the missions began in 1622 and was completed in 1635.
The Spanish Missions in New Mexico were a series of religious outposts in the Province of Santa Fe de Nuevo México — present day New Mexico. They were established by Franciscan friars under charter from the monarchs of the Spanish Empire and the government of the Viceroyalty of New Spain in a policy called Reductions to facilitate the conversion of Native Americans into Christianity.
