Tubac Presidio State Historic Park, Spanish colonial historic site in Tubac, Arizona, US.
The park contains preserved ruins of San Ignacio de Tubac, with exhibits showcasing Spanish colonial artifacts and Native American objects from the region.
Established in 1752 as a military outpost, the presidio protected Spanish colonists from Apache and Seri tribes while serving as a strategic settlement point.
The park maintains Arizona's first printing press and presents living history demonstrations where interpreters wear period clothing to demonstrate colonial daily life.
The park operates from Tuesday through Sunday, with adult admission at $7.00, youth tickets at $3.00, and free entry for children under 6 years old.
This first Arizona state park marks the location where Juan Bautista de Anza gathered 240 colonists for the expedition that led to San Francisco's establishment.
