Mission San Juan Capistrano

Highlight • Historical Site

The mission was founded in 1776 by Spanish missionaries of the Franciscan order. The history of the mission is presented very impressively here with many old and well-preserved artifacts and buildings. A visit is worthwhile. The mission is not yet overrun by tourists, so you can get in without any problems even without booking in advance. The entrance fee is $18 for adults. An audio guide is included.
