Title supplied by cataloger. Padre Junipero Serra founded Mission San Juan Capistrano, the 'Jewel of the Missions', as it is sometimes referred to, on November 1, 1776; it is the seventh of 21 Spanish Missions established in California by Franciscan Padres. Among some areas of interest within the Mission walls are the early adobe barracks, Friars' quarters, cemetery, beautiful gardens, and the original Stone Church. The Great Stone Church began construction in 1796, was completed in 1806 and was destroyed by an earthquake in 1812. The Mission was secularized in 1833, sold in 1845, and was returned to the Church in 1865. View of a seated priest with women and children under the arches at Mission San Juan Capistrano.
