Santa Barbara Mission, Santa Barbara, California. This California's Spanish mission is on El Camino Real ("The Royal Highway"). The missions represent the arrival of the first non-Native Americans to California. They brought both Christianity and diseases. The Mediterranean -style Saint Barbara Mission, founded in 1786 by Father Fermin Francisco de Lasuen, is beautiful.

It was only after the Santa Barbara earthquake on December 21, 1812, which destroyed the existing buildings, that the construction on the current Mission was begun. It was completed and then dedicated in 1820.
