San Gabriel de Yungue-Ouinge (or Yunge Oweenge, or Yunge Owingeh, or Yuque Yunque ) was the site of the first Spanish capital in New Mexico. It is located where the Chama river meets the Rio Grande, near Ohkay Owingeh, New Mexico. The pueblo of Yuque Yunque was provided as a gesture of goodwill toward Juan de Oñate, and he founded his colonial government there, until it was moved to Santa Fe in 1610.[3]
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964.[2][4]
It was then stated:
These ruins mark the site of the first Spanish-built capital of New Mexico, established at a Tewa Pueblo which the Spanish took over. The capital was moved to Santa Fe in 1610.[2]
