Wimberley Puzzle Company Quarai Ruins - The Chapel | National Parks Puzzle

250, 500, 1000 Pieces

An artist signed jigsaw puzzle from the Artist Signature Series, titled Quarai Mission Ruins - The Chapel, features the breathtaking Quarai Mission Ruins of the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument, near Mountain Air and Punta de Agua, New Mexico. This thriving city is what Don Juan de Oñate found when he arrived at Quarai in 1598. The Quarai Mission and Convento were established at Quarai in 1626 overseen by Fray Juan Gutierrez de la Chica. Construction began on La Purisma Concepcion de Quarai in 1627 and continued to 1632. Curiously, within the newly built convento, a Square Kiva was built. Like the other Missions of Salinas Pueblo Missions, a combination of disease, drought, famine, and Apache raiding led to the abandonment of Quarai in 1678. Settlers would return to Quarai in the early 1800s constructing the Lucero Structures which included a defensive Torreon and the later Manzano Church.

FEATURES:

  • 1/8" thick wooden pieces create a satisfying tactile sensation when assembling your puzzle. High-strength, cross-banded veneer core results in a piece that is strong in all directions and will last generations.
  • Puzzles are printed directly to wood using the latest printing technology and are scratch and water-resistant. The matte photo finish means the right piece is easy to see when you need it.
  • A multitude of pieces and piece sizes means these puzzles are great puzzles for children, great puzzles for adults, and great puzzles for seniors.
  • No tweezers required to assemble these puzzles. They also offer large-piece puzzles, which are 250-piece puzzles in the same size as 500-piece puzzles. This is a great puzzling solution for children, seniors, and those with reduced dexterity. Or, just those that enjoy puzzles but want to spend less time doing them.
  • StoryPieces are unique, whimsical pieces that are hand-drawn into each puzzle design. They are designed to be entertaining, engaging, and educational. Each piece tells a story within the puzzle about the flora, fauna, or history of the area where the image was taken.
