Often referred to as the 'Queen of the Missions', it was founded by Padre Fermín Lasuén for the Franciscan order on December 4, 1786, the feast day of Saint Barbara, as the tenth mission of what would later become 21 missions in Alta California.
Old Mission Santa Barbara. Top choice in Santa Barbara. California's ‘Queen of the Missions’ reigns above the city on a hilltop perch more than a mile north of downtown. Its imposing Ionic facade, an architectural homage to an ancient Roman chapel, is topped by an unusual twin-bell tower.
Beautiful California Mission. This mission is the gem of the California missions, and one not to miss. It has an amazing courtyard with beautiful plants and trees. The old church is beautifully preserved, and active today. The side chapels are lovely, especially the one with St. Francis and St. Claire.
