Description

First established in 1786 as the 10th in the mission chain, the Santa Barbara Mission, a National Historic Landmark, is one of the most sophisticated and classically proportioned missions of the original 21 missions to be founded by the Spanish Franciscans. The Mission's commanding position and grand proportions, graceful lines and soft, blending colors all reinforce her title, "Queen of the Missions." The Santa Barbara mission church, completed in 1820, is the only original mission church to survive unaltered into the 20th century. Over 200 years after its construction, the church is still home to an active parish, as well as a working community of Franciscan friars. The current mission property now houses a retreat center and museum and displays its historic cemetery, gardens, and aqueduct system/fountain for visitors. In addition to its nationally landmarked architecture, the mission is a major repository of historic records, art and objects from all eras of California history.
