Mission San Xavier del Bac

Take a look at the cat(s) and mouse/mice on the front face of the entry. Purportedly, when the cat catches the mouse , the world ends.

Did you know? San Xavier Mission was founded in 1692. Construction of the current church began in 1783 and was completed in 1797. It is the oldest intact European structure in Arizona Read more

Very interesting history. Cool little desert squirrel (of sorts) running around. Go there for sure

Very enchanting spot in the desert ???? makes one think about the old west and they magic of these lands.

Visiting Tucson (by plane )? Check this spot out on your way to the airport your last day — you can see it in 20 mins and it’s worth it. Beautiful southwest architecture .

The architecture is amazing. If you have never been to a mission you should check it out!! Try to street food in the parking lot after

Super ornate for a structure like this in America. Cool grounds. Snarky signage.

San Xavier, also know as the white dove of the desert, you could see it from miles away.

A must see in southwest Tucson. Facing the mission, to the left are the restrooms and to the right are the museum and gift shop . The lions on the altar are a tribute to Spain's king.

Amazing experience and the beauty of the mission is incomparable

Loved this place! Historic and very interesting... No tax in the gift shop (it's on an Ajo Indian Reservation )... the homemade flatbread vendor in the parking lot was well worth a stop!

The architectural design of the church is amazing .

Very interesting mission. If you have time you should stay for Mass. Well worth it.

So much history, a very awesome place to be. The church was beautiful

One of the most beautiful places in the whole of the Southwest.

Old, crusty but gorgeous church in Tucson. A must see icon.
