Tumacacori National Historical Park

Tumacacori National Historical Park preserves the ruins of 3 early Spanish colonial missions on 47 acres of southern Arizona.

San José de Tumacácori and Los Santos Ángeles de Guevavi were established in 1691 and are the two oldest missions in Arizona. The third mission, San Cayetano de Calabazas, was established in 1756. The site was abandoned in 1848 due to Apache raids, neglect and a terrible winter.

Tumacacori became a national monument in 1908 and the two Spanish missions, Guevavi and Calabazas, were added to the site in 1990.
