San Fernando Mission Convento
Continuing to explore the San Fernando Mission, here are some photos of the Convento building. This is the only original building remaining in the mission, built between 1808 and 1822, and it contains many fascinating artifacts.
It used to be the priests' residence, but is basically a museum at this point.
There were several signs indicating important people who had visited, including the Pope if I remember correctly.
All photos were taken without flash. I'm linking to the Our World Tuesday meme. And as I just found out about the Inspired Sunday meme, I'm adding a link to that - I'll have several posts for that in the next few months.
