Mission San Xavier del Bac is located about ten miles south of Tucson, Arizona. The area was first visited by Father Kino in 1692 and a mission building was started about 1700 but never finished. The present mission was started in 1783 and finished in 1783. It was built to serve the Tohono O'odham nation which was part of Mexico at the time. The images are all of the outside of the mission so when I get the time I'll head back and photograph the interior which is beautifully restored within the last few years. Hope you enjoy the images.
