Spanish padres and Indians, the Mission
was a center for agriculture, industry,
education and religion.

of century old bells and walk down its time

the 10 _ acres of lush gardens and cool
fountains, cloistered by old adobe walls,
offers visitors seclusion from the sights
and sounds of a busy world. Learn about

area, soldiers barracks, and cemetery.
