Santa Inés

The last of the missions founding in southern California. Santa Inés was named after Saint Agnes, who died in Rome in 304AD. The orginal church was erected between 1805-1812 but was destroyed by earthquakes. A new building was dedicated in 1817.

The natives learned to use color to give the illusion of a three dimension

fountain and beautiful garden area.



Walking down the archway from the garden area, you will find yourself back in the museum.


Indian artifacts, pantings, and scultures and be seen in the museum.
