It's such an incredible place. The architecture is gorgeous. Haven't been here in many years, but I'm always in awe. Brought my granddaughters to enjoy it. Girls' weekend was extra special, adding this stop.
Wonderful beautiful ° White dove of the desert" Such a treasure this reconstructed Catholic church is a joy to visit and spectacular to travel back in time ! Such a wonderful time to visit and enjoy the beauty!
Excellent example of early Spanish mission architecture. The intricate details of this historic church are fascinating. The blend of Spanish and Native American artistry is truly unique. It is very hot here so bring water and shade is also limited. There is a nice little gift shop there.
A very old mission. With a very old church. But it's definitely worth seeing. The history of this place is amazing. Take time to see this part of Tuscon that you wouldn't expect to see. If you're Catholic or not. It's still a beauty in the desert.
The sense of history, beautiful art, working church...just kind of hits you when you enter. So beautiful. Food vendors out by parking lot. Restrooms. Wheelchair accessible and a gift shop. Free entry however, they do have donation drops a few places.
This is one of the most beautiful missions I have ever visited. The interior is just as stunning as the exterior. This mission is built on Tohono Oodham land. At the time of its initial construction, it was part of New Spain. It dates back to 1675, which makes it one of the oldest churches in Arizona.
Great mission and piece of history/architecture. Gift shop in the mission was nice along with the shops across the mission. With just the pictures alone, my mom loved it and now wants to visit.
Just a reminder to people, this is an active mission/church. So you might not be able to see the inside if there is a service or event going on. Please be respectful.
