Mission San Miguel was one of the better preserved missions, at least it was until the San Simeon Earthquake of 2003.
The mission was damaged and it reopened three years later, in 2006.
The Hearst family did have reach.
The cemetery.
Bell tower.
The devil being slain.
Cooking oven.
Original sheepskin windows.
Monk's bed.
In the church.
At first I thought I was looking at a sun and its rays. Then I got a closer look.
Maybe it's because I've listened to too much Coast to Coast, but I thought this symbol was a little weird so I looked it up. Turns out to the Catholics, the all-seeing eye represents God's omniscience and the triangle is symbolic of the holy trinity.
Learn something new every day.
I liked this mission and would recommend a visit.
