Mission San Juan Bautista

Mission San Juan Bautista was founded on the feast day of Saint John the Baptist, June 24, 1797, as a fifteenth of the twenty-one Missions. It was built overlooking the San Andreas Fault. Construction of the present Church began in 1803 and continued for nine years. The sandstone foundation goes to a depth of five feet. The adobe walls are four feet thick. The Church is 190 feet long, 67 feet wide and 40 feet high. It is the largest Church in the Mission chain.

To the left of the Mission are the Padres’ living quarters and guest rooms. This beautiful building has since been converted into a museum, the rooms containing ecclesiastical vestments, Indian Relics, rare religious books and Victorian furniture of the latter Mission Era
