Mission San Juan Capistrano050
in San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675about Mission San Juan Capistrano:
Mission San Juan Capistrano was founded more than two hundred years ago. Today it is a monument to California's multi-cultural history, embracing its Native American, Spanish, Mexican, and European heritage. Originally built as a self sufficient community by Spanish Padres and Indians, the Mission was a center for agriculture, industry, education, and religion.
The serenity and peace that pervades the 10 acres of lush gardens and cool fountains, cloistered by old adobe walls, offers visitors seclusion from the sights and sounds of a busy world. The Mission is a registered Historic Landmark and is designated a National Historical Treasure.
The famous swallows of Capistrano migrate annually to Goya, Argentina in October, and return to their spring and summer home in Capistrano each March. The celebration held each year to welcome the birds home grows in size and popularity annually.
During the summer months, families can take advantage of craft days, storytelling, theater performances, and even summer camp programs.
