Misión Santa Rosalía de Mulegé

This stone church structure stands at the entrance of Bahía de Concepción, featuring traditional Spanish colonial architecture with thick stone walls and arched windows.

The Jesuit missionary Juan Manuel de Basaldúa established the mission in 1705, with financial support from the Marqués de Villapuente to spread Christianity.

The mission bears the name of Saint Rosalia and incorporates elements from the indigenous Cochimí settlement, representing the fusion of European and native traditions.

Visitors can explore the mission every Sunday from 8:00 to 9:00 AM and Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

The building houses an original 18th-century altar with a statue of Santa Rosalía, which survived numerous natural disasters and restorations.
