Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is renowned for its stunning Gothic Revival architecture and the mysterious "Miraculous Staircase." Constructed in the late 19th century, the chapel was originally built as part of the Loretto Academy, a Catholic school for girls. The staircase, which seems to defy engineering logic with its spiral design and lack of visible support, has become a focal point of intrigue and admiration. Legend has it that the staircase was built by a mysterious carpenter who disappeared without seeking payment or recognition.
