110 South Church Avenue
(La Placita Village)
Tucson, AZ 85701
Hol dir da Walkin Maps für das Barrio und Presidio. Liegen nebeneinander downtown.
auch Downtown:
St. Augustine Cathedral
Church steeped in Hispanic culture
As the biggest Catholic church in the city, this is one of the most splendid architecturally with its high interior, tall windows and dome. Built in 1896, and renovated in 1967, it is a particularly imposing sight during late evening hours. Services are held Sundays at 6:30a, 8a, and 5:30p. A special attraction is the colorful Mariachi mass Sundays at 8a, delivered in Spanish; your chance to get a taste of Tucson's rich Hispanic heritage.
Pima County Courthouse
This courthouse, designed in 1928 in Spanish Colonial style, is a nice architectural homage to Tucson's Spanish-Mexican past. If you are downtown, take your time to stroll around and view the building from all sides. Explore the courtyard and its arcade, created by arches and columns, or sit by the cool water of the fountain. The best part of the complex is actually its glittering tiled dome in vaguely Moorish style. Finally, walk upstairs (security check required) to see the only remaining piece of the original Presidio walls displayed there. Access is free during office hours.
Weiterhin kann ich DeGrazia Gallery empfelen. 6300 North Swan Road
Ettore "Ted" de Grazia, Tucson's most famous painter, left his studio/gallery in the Catalina foothills for the public to enjoy as a museum of Southwestern art. The building is made from adobe surrounded by cactus and other desert plants. De Grazia was fascinated by the colors and cultures of the American Southwest, and that is what his art is all about. Free admission; there is a gift shop that accepts credit cards.
