Junípero Serra Museum at Presidio Park

The Junípero Serra Museum sits atop Presidio Hill and interprets the Presidio of San Diego, the site associated with the first sustained European settlement in what is now California, established in 1769. The museum contains exhibits and artifacts related to San Diego's early Spanish and Mexican periods and overlooks Old Town and the surrounding historic precinct. The Presidio Park site and museum are recognized local landmarks tied to the city's founding history.
