Finished building in 1797, it is the oldest European building of the State. Was Jesuit than Franciscan. Only 10 miles from downtown. It feels like you are transported back in Spain!

Short drive from town to the reservation. The Mission is as beautiful as a 200 to 300 year old mission can be. Very interesting and under repair as I write. It was amazing that all of the visitors when we were there seemed to be very respectful of the fact that they were in a church
