Is this a neat mission to visit? We might just have to make the trip because it's beautiful!

I love to go to see the gardens. This mission is known as the jewel of the missions because of its beauty. These buildings are centuries old but remain as ruins today as they were felled by an earthquake in 1812.

It is definitely worth a visit.
