  • Are these details incorrect?
  • Originally built on Presidio Hill in 1769, this mission moved up the valley a few years later. The first of 21 missions, it was the birthplace of Christianity in California. It was the only mission to be attacked by Indians. In 1847, the US Cavalry occupied the grounds (see Mission San Diego de Alcalá).
