Mission Nuestra Señora de la Soledad, Spanish mission and museum in Soledad, California.

Mission Nuestra Señora de la Soledad is a Spanish mission and museum in Soledad, California. The white chapel has a rectangular facade, a gabled roof of reddish-brown tiles, and a wooden cross at the front roof edge. A single wooden door with vertical planks sits beneath a curved garland of green foliage, and a stone-paved walkway leads to it. A low roof section extends to the left.

The thirteenth California mission was founded in 1791 by Father Fermín Francisco de Lasuén. Severe floods in 1824, 1828, and 1832 forced several reconstructions of the compound.

The museum displays objects from the Chalon, Esselen, and Yokuts peoples who lived and worked here during the early 1800s. The exhibits offer insight into daily life for these groups during the mission period.

The mission is located at 36641 Fort Romie Road and opens daily from 10 AM to 4 PM with free admission. Guided tours explain the site and help visitors navigate the chapel and museum rooms.

Governor José Joaquín de Arrillaga died on July 24, 1814, during a visit to the mission and was buried in the chapel. When restoration began in 1954, his grave was identified and given a new marker. The cemetery and unrestored quadrangle ruins nearby can still be seen.
