    Pic of The Day: Mission San Diego de Alcala

    The oldest Mission in California- established in 1769 by Junipero Sera- before the US was even a country. It has had several reincarnations since then and the present church was built around 1865. It was declared a Basilica in 1976 by Pope Paul VI and is still an active Catholic church. You can find more of its history here: http://www.missionsandiego.com/mission_history.htm

    It is located just east of Qualcom stadium at 10818 San Diego Mission Road.



    Inside the church.

    I add new pictures to my photo gallery pretty regularly. You can see them here if you are interested: http://www.pbase.com/jeffryz

    Thanks! Haven't seen to many missions. The San Juan Capistrano one is very nice.
