Santa Barbara - Mission Santa Barbara

History
The "Queen of the Mission Stations", as Santa Barbara is generally called, was the only one to remain with the Franciscans after being secularized and to be preserved by them in its original condition to the present day. However, this applies only to the buildings, for the large estates which once belonged to the mission were lost after 1834.
Church
The church, completed in 1829 after the original had been destroyed by earthquake in 1812, is the work of Father Antonio Ripoli.
