Mission San Juan Capistrano

The Mission San Juan Capistrano was the 7th Mission founded in the chain of missions in California.
Mission San Juan Capistrano, named for St. John of Capistrano, Italy, a theologian of the 14th century, is the seventh mission founded November 1, 1776, the Feast of All Saints, by Fr. Junipero Serra. Previously established by Fr. Fermin Lasuen on October 30, 1775, it was abandoned because of Indian unrest at Mission San Diego. The Great Stone Church began construction in 1796; was completed in 1806;and was destroyed by an earthquake 1812. The Mission was secularized 1833, sold in 1845, and was returned to the Church in 1865.

Great pics, I always love the hallway shots taken anywhere. There is something timeless about them. It looks like it was a gorgeous day too.

Terrific set of shots, Sam. This is such a beautiful mission. I especially like your hallway and bell shots. I have been there, but haven't yet posted my shots from there. I've been to about a dozen California missions so far, but have a number I haven't posted shots of yet. Here is my link if you care to view:http://www.pbase.com/milholland_l/califmissions
