Built by Spanish missionaries in 1776, Misión San Francisco de Asís, or Mission Dolores, is San Francisco’s oldest surviving structure. It has witnessed the rapid transformation of San Francisco, from a small Pueblo with a Presidio, to Gold Rush boom town, to the bustling city it is today. The opulent church was constructed in an old Spanish style with lush gardens and a unique, historic cemetery. Admission to the Mission is $5.00 and totally worth it.
