In the heart of San Francisco, you will find the oldest building in the city, the old Mission. Mission San Francisco de Asis was the sixth Mission in the state of California and after its completion on Oct. 9, 1776 it was named after Francisco de Asis (now a saint).

The Mission was used not only as a house of worship, but also as agricultural communities, manufacturers of different products, hotels, ranches, hospitals, schools, and the center of
the largest communities in the state.

Now, the Mission is a tourist attraction located between Dolores and Church streets, showcasing the rich history of the origins of the city, the history of the Native Americans who lived there, the beautiful original designs of the Mission, and the oldest cemetery in San Francisco.
