The third mission established by Father Serra, established in 1771 but mainly constructed in the early 1800s. Site of the first Catholic marriage in California; and the first of the missions to have a red-tile roof. Due to its isolated location (it is one of the few missions without a nearby city), it was never secularized. Contains a gristmill, tannery, and a museum of Native American artifacts.
