More information on Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcala

Founded in July of 1769 by Junipero Serra, the Mission San Diego de Alcala is one of the major historic churches in California. Alcala was the first of 21 churches built by the Spanish missionary. The church was rebuilt after a Native American revolt in 1774 using adobe walls and clay roofing tiles. Designated a landmark in the early 1800s, the church still holds mass every Sunday, and its 200 year-old bell still rings several times a day.
