Overview

This mission is an artifact of North American history. California's first church, it was founded in 1769 by Father Junipero Serra himself. In 1775, it was burned down by protesting native Americans. Then after being subsequently rebuilt, it was once again severely damaged in 1803 by an earthquake. Guided tours are available and the mission frequently hosts events. Still an active Roman Catholic Parish, it now sits in the midst of busy Mission Valley.

Worth Seeingby Yahoo | 2008-12-03 08:02:25 |

This place is a must see for people that love history You should do your own research before you go, as there aren't too many people around to answer your questions. It is a really cool piece of California's history and is a very peaceful place. If you are in the area it is well worth seeing, but if you are doing a quick sightseeing trip you might make better use of your time elsewhere.
