Square Kiva Located Inside of The Spanish Church

Square Kiva Located Inside of The Spanish Church

Pictured is a square kiva set into the earth at Quarai. The location of this kiva is of special import: it was located in the center of the Spanish church's friary. This indicates a strange fusion of Christian and Pueblo beliefs.
