California's Missions

San Fernando Rey de España

Founded September 8, 1797

I especially liked the inside of this mission. They were among the best decorated rooms I have seen throughout my travels to the missions. The mission is located in the busy L.A. area and is the largest free standing adobe in California. Originally it was used as a hospice. In the church you should visit the colorful statue of King Ferdinand of Spain, which was brought from Spain 300 years ago.
