On the north side of the square is the fortress- like Palace of the Governors (1614), which was successively the seat of Spanish, Mexican and American governors and is believed to be the oldest public building in the United States. Here in 1880 Governor Lewis Wallace wrote part of his much-filmed novel "Ben Hur". Exhibitions in the palace trace the history of Santa Fe from prehistoric times to the present day, with particular emphasis on the Indian heritage. In the Hall of the Modern Indian are exhibits illustrating modern Indian culture.
