Santa Margarita de Cortona Asistencia, Religious mission outpost in San Luis Obispo County, California.
The stone and adobe structure measured 120 feet long by 20 feet wide, containing a chapel and eight additional rooms for various purposes.
Founded in 1787 as a sub-mission to Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, the site was originally selected by Father Junípero Serra in 1772.
The asistencia functioned as a religious center for the Salinan people while managing agricultural production through its integrated granary system.
The facility now stands on private property, with portions of the original stone walls incorporated into a ranch barn structure.
During the 1818 raid by French privateer Hipólito Bouchard, the asistencia served as a refuge for residents fleeing from coastal settlements.
