Located in Downtown San Luis Obispo on Monterey Street, the Mission San Luis Obispo was originally founded on Sept. 1, 1772. The church is unusual in its design in that its combination of belfry and vestibule isn't found anywhere else among the 21 California missions.

Check out its living history by visiting their museum. Learn more about the Chumash Indians and the Spanish missionaries. The colorful Spanish history of the California missions is such a defining part of California missions that it's hard to miss.
