This mission is an artifact of North American history. Californias 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.

"This is one of the prettier missions in California, and a great place to learn about the history of California and the Catholic Church. There are great gardens and a lovely fountain, and a lot of informational exhibits. I enjoyed walking around the gardens and admiring the plants. The church itself is beautiful, too. It doesn’t tend to be very crowded, either. Definitely worth a visit!"
