Los Adaes was the capital of Tejas (Spanish Texas) on the northeastern border of New Spain from 1729 to 1770. Los Adaes included a mission San Miguel de Cuellar de los Adaes and a presidio Nuestra Señora del Pilar de Los Adaes, Our Lady of the Pillar of the Adaes.
The mission was established to serve the indigenous Adai people living in the region and it was noted for the unique cooperation between the French, the Spanish and the indigenous Adaes people. The site is today protected in the Los Adaes State Historic Site in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana. It is one of the most important American archaeological sites for studying colonial Spanish culture.
