Mission Concepción

Why go

The oldest unrestored stone church in the country is a strong first mission stop. Its spare twin towers and surviving interior frescoes make the architecture easy to read without a long museum visit. Give the church and grounds their own time, then continue south along the Mission Reach if you want to compare the other missions.

What to look for

• The 18th-century limestone church and mission grounds are a separate stop at 807 Mission Road.

Useful to know

• The mission church hours differ from the grounds; check the NPS page before visiting.
• Allow roughly 75 minutes at this stop.
