San Antonio del Rio Colorado Historical Preservation in Questa, New Mexico is an important archaeological site that was first discovered in 1979. The site is located in the Rio Grande Valley and is made up of three distinct sites that form a long-term cultural landscape. The three sites include the San Antonio del Rio Colorado Church, the San Antonio del Rio Colorado Plaza, and the San Antonio del Rio Colorado Cemetery.

The San Antonio del Rio Colorado Church was built in the late 1800s and is a testament to the strong Spanish colonial heritage in the region. The church is a single-story adobe structure that features a mud-stuccoed exterior and a bell tower. The interior of the church is decorated with ornate frescos and religious paintings. This church is also home to a small museum that contains artifacts from the region.

The San Antonio del Rio Colorado Plaza is a large open area that was once used to host community events such as fiestas. The plaza is encircled by adobe walls and contains the original plaza cross, which was built in the late 1800s. The plaza is also home to a bronze statue of the Virgin Mary that was erected in the 1960s.

The San Antonio del Rio Colorado Cemetery is a unique and beautiful cemetery that is made up of a series of small, adobe tombs and graves. These graves are decorated with colorful tiles and are a reminder of the importance of honoring the dead in the area.
