The Jemez State Monument Heritage Area protects a 17th century mission ruins and a 14th century pueblo. About 700 years ago ancestors of the present day people of Jemez Pueblo constructed a large pueblo in the narrow San Diego Canyon and called it "Giusewa," a Towa word that refers to the many hot springs found nearby. The ruins are among the most impressive in the Southwest.
