Description: Title supplied by cataloger.
Founded by Father Fermin Lasuen on September 8, 1797 in Mission Hills, Mission San Fernando Rey de Espana (originally La Mision del Senor Fernando, Rey de Espana) is located on the former settlement of Encino Rancho. It was the seventeenth mission built in Alto California an in a quadrangle, similar to other missions, with the church taking up one corner. Most noted for its 21 Roman arches, the Convento Building is the largest two-story adobe structure in California. It is California Historic Landmark #157 while the entire Mission San Fernando Rey de Espana is Building #71001076 in the National Register of Historic Places. The sanctuary continues to serve as a parish church. This flower shaped fountain is a replica of the original in Cordova, Spain.
Three people stand at the edge of a flower shaped fountain in the mission's East Garden.
