Santa Barbara Mission
Laguna and Los Olivos Streets, Santa Barbara
Called the Queen of Missions for
its graceful beauty. From the perspective of the Mission you get a true
look at the evolution of Santa Barbara. You can
see how it has changed from a Chumash land to a Spanish land and finally
to an American state. It has seen earthquakes that caused it to be
rebuilt and
illustrates the changing lifestyles of the people it served.
Santa Ines Mission
1760 Mission Drive, Solvang
Founded in 1804, Santa Ines (Saint Agnes)
was the 19th and final mission to be built in southern California.
Known
as the "the hidden gem of the Missions" due to its remoteness
from the Calle Real.
