Tourist Map

I've arranged the photos to follow a "standard" tour as you would be guided by the self-guided aid given out by the mission. You'll be moving back and forth between outside and inside during the tour. Now, let's get started...

Your tour starts at the guest entrance coming in from the parking lot. Directly through the gate you encounter the Hannon statue of Blessed Serra. Don't forget to rub the toe for luck.

This area of the patio is also populated with examples of the various tools used during the mission area, including the oven, cart, and olive press seen here.

Just ahead of you and on the right you'll find the entrance to the gift shop and the start of the self-guided tour.

Let's go inside now...

Let's skip the inside and see the interior garden...
