A National Historic Landmark, San Xavier Mission was founded as a Catholic mission by Father Eusebio Kino in 1692. Construction of the current church bagan in 1783. The oldest intact European structure in Arizona, the church's interior if filled with marvelous original statuary and mural paintings. It is a place where you can truly step back in time and enter an authentic 18th Century space. It is widely considered to be the finest example of Spanish Colonial architecture in the United States. The feeling that you get when you walk in to the church is hard to describe. It is a breathtaking, spiritual experience that I will remember forever.
