Mission San Francisco de Asís, Historic Catholic mission site in Mission District, San Francisco, United States
Mission San Francisco de Asís features thick adobe walls, wooden beam ceilings, and traditional architectural elements from Spanish colonial California.
Founded on June 29, 1776, just days before American independence, this mission became the sixth establishment in Father Serra's chain of California missions.
The ceiling displays intricate patterns painted by Native Ohlone artists using natural vegetable dyes, representing the fusion of Indigenous and Catholic traditions.
The mission complex includes the original adobe chapel, basilica, cemetery, museum, and gardens, with guided tours available daily from 9 AM to 4 PM.
This structure stands as San Francisco's oldest building, having endured the 1906 earthquake while maintaining its original architectural features intact.
