Santa Fe - Barrio de Analco 
South of the Rio de Santa Fe is the Barrio de Analco, an old quarter dating from the early 17th century in which a number of buildings have been lovingly restored. Here too is what is claimed to be the oldest building in the United States, an adobe structure which may have been built around 1200, now housing a restaurant and a number of souvenir shops.
Analco is a Mexican Indian word meaning "other side of the water".
