Mission San Miguel

Mission San Miguel "The Un-retouched Mission."  Some how, in over 200 years of existence this mission has escaped the "restorer's" usually misguided efforts. When you step into this mission and look at the painted decorations on the wall you are seeing the work of Native Californians. Esteban Munras directed Salinan craftsmen in creating beautiful swags, columns, and draperies. This mission, more than any other gives one a real sense of being back in the 18th century.
