Tumacácori Mission, Spanish colonial mission ruins in Santa Cruz County, US
The historic park contains three separate mission complexes spanning 360 acres along the Santa Cruz River Valley in southern Arizona.
Jesuit priest Eusebio Kino established the first Spanish colonial missions in this area during 1691, marking the start of European presence.
The missions represent intersections between O'odham, Yaqui, and Apache peoples with European Jesuit and Franciscan missionaries through centuries.
Visitors can explore the mission grounds through paved trails, guided tours, and a museum featuring artifacts from the Spanish colonial period.
The 1937 Tumacácori Museum building demonstrates Mission Revival architecture and holds National Historic Landmark status within the park grounds.
