Description
The Presidio (fortress), founded by the Spaniards in 1782, was badly damaged in the earthquakes of 1806 and 1812 and became of no importance at all after the American troops entered in 1846. Of the original buildings only El Cuartel, the soldiers' quarters, and the front rooms of the Canedo Adobe remain. The padre's house and the chapel have been restored.

El Presidio de Santa Bárbara State Historic Park is located in modern downtown Santa Barbara at the intersection of Santa Barbara and East Canon Perdido Streets.
