The California Missions are a series of 21 religious outposts established by Spanish missionaries between 1769 and 1833 along the California coast. These missions were built to spread Christianity among the indigenous Native American populations living in the region and to establish Spanish control over the area.
Some of the most well-known California Missions include:
1. Mission San Diego de Alcala
2. Mission San Gabriel Arcangel
3. Mission San Juan Capistrano
4. Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa
5. Mission San Francisco de Asis (Mission Dolores)
6. Mission Santa Clara de Asis
7. Mission San Juan Bautista
8. Mission Santa Cruz
9. Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo (Mission Carmel)
10. Mission San Diego de Alcala
These missions played a significant role in shaping the cultural, economic, and social development of California. Today, many of the missions have been restored and are open to the public as historical landmarks and tourist attractions.
