Santa Barbara

The Queen awaits your arrival!


Spend time with the Queen of the California Missions. Established on the Feast of Saint Barbara, December 4, 1786 the Santa Barbara Mission was the tenth of twenty-one California Missions to be founded by the Spanish Franciscans.

More than 200 years later, the Mission continues to be the home to a community of Franciscan friars, a beautiful church with a large and active parish; a museum and gift shop; a cemetery and mausoleum; and twelve acres of beautifully landscaped gardens. The Missions commanding position and grand proportions, graceful lines and soft, blending colors all reinforce her title, Queen of the Missions.
