15 Mission School at Mission San Juan Capistrano in California

Spain wanted to claim the west coast of the New World called Alta California for their kingdom while also converting the indigenous people to Christianity. So, from 1769 until 1833, Franciscan Catholic priests established 21 missions that were spaced one-days-travel apart from San Diego up to Sonoma. The Mission San Juan Capistrano was built in 1776. This photo of the Mission School from the Central Courtyard demonstrates why this seventh Spanish mission is considered to be among the prettiest and best maintained.
