The largest stone - as opposed to adobe - mission church in New Mexico is Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception of Cuarac, now called Quarai (Nuestra Senora de la Purisima Concepcion de Cuarac). This Catholic Church north of Mountainair, NM was built in 1629 on an already existing Tiwa Indian pueblo. In 1632 Quarai became the seat of the Inquisition in New Mexico.
In 1678 the inhabitants abandoned the site due to Apache attacks and lack of water. The church was left unfinished. Today the ruins of Quarai and three more Salinas Pueblo Missions are a National Monument.
