Mission San Miguel Arcángel, Spanish colonial mission in San Miguel, United States
The mission features a church building constructed between 1816 and 1818 with adobe walls measuring six feet in thickness and traditional Spanish architectural elements.
Mission San Miguel Arcángel, founded in 1797 by Father Fermin Lasuén, served as the sixteenth establishment in the California Mission chain to connect northern and southern outposts.
Native American artisans painted the interior frescos under supervision of Esteban Munras from Catalonia, creating decorations that remain unaltered since their creation.
The mission compound opens daily from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM, offering guided tours, religious services, and access to the museum displaying historical artifacts.
The cemetery contains the remains of 2,249 Native Americans, documented in detailed burial records that provide insights into the mission's historical demographics.
