Mission San Antonio de Padua, Franciscan mission in Monterey County, United States.
Mission San Antonio de Padua features a brick bell tower, extensive adobe walls, and traditional Spanish colonial architectural elements across its grounds.
Founded in 1771 by Father Junípero Serra, the mission became the third established religious settlement in Alta California during Spanish colonization.
The mission site preserves artifacts and exhibits that document the interactions between Franciscan missionaries and Salinan Native American communities.
Visitors need to pass through Fort Hunter Liggett Military Reservation security checkpoints to access the mission, located 29 miles from King City.
The mission implemented the first fired tile roofing system in Upper California and maintains its original location away from coastal settlements.
