Step into Southern California History at Mission Santa Barbara

Mission Santa Barbara, also known as the "Queen of the Missions," sets the tone for the rest of Santa Barbara's architecture. This historic mission, which goes back to the late 1700s, offers numerous interesting features worth seeing for an hour or two. The church, as well as the other mission buildings and their associated historic structures, are open to visitors at the Santa Barbara Mission. The old cemetery and mausoleum, the ruins of the mission's extensive aqueduct system, several tanning vats, and ten acres of beautiful gardens are just a few of the attractions.

Spend time seeing the rest of the city after visiting Old Mission Santa Barbara. Some say Santa Barbara has the greatest beaches on the coast, and places like Leadbetter Beach confirm this claim. Stearns Wharf and the Santa Barbara County Courthouse are two other attractions to see in Santa Barbara.
