Mission Nuestra Señora de la Soledad, Spanish mission and museum in Soledad, California.
Built in adobe and stone, Mission Nuestra Señora de la Soledad contains a small chapel, museum rooms, and a courtyard with an ornamental fountain filled with koi fish.
The thirteenth California mission, established in 1791 by Father Fermín Francisco de Lasuén, experienced severe floods in 1824, 1828, and 1832, leading to multiple reconstructions.
The mission museum displays artifacts from Native American tribes, including the Chalon, Esselen, and Yokuts, who lived and worked at the mission during the early 1800s.
Located at 36641 Fort Romie Road, the mission opens daily from 10 AM to 4 PM, with free admission and guided tours explaining the site's historical significance.
Spanish Governor José Joaquín de Arrillaga's marked grave remains preserved in the chapel, where he was buried following his death during a visit in 1814.
