The Miraculous Staircase

The Miraculous Staircase

The Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico has a pretty unusual spiral staircase – it winds round and round like a DNA helix, and has no visible center “bar” for support. But the story of the staircase’s origins is even stranger. It was built by an itinerant carpenter who wandered in from the desert – and 200 years later, we’re still not sure who it was.

This episode was brought to you in partnership with Visit Santa Fe. Find out more about visiting the Loretto Chapel here:
