Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. A view of the bell cote from the back at San Antonio de Pala Asistencia, showing steps leading up to the bell cote. The bell cote (bell gable, campanario, espadaña) is unique among the California missions as a free-standing structure. The original bell cote was destroyed by torrential rains in 1916 and was replaced by a precise replica immediately. The cemetery's picket fence is visible in the foreground. The Pala Mission was a sub-mission to Mission San Luis Rey de Francia, some twenty miles inland upstream from the mission on the San Luis Rey River.
