Mission San Francisco de Asís (Mission Dolores) - oldest surviving building in San Francisco

Mission San Francisco de Asís, commonly called Mission Dolores, was founded in 1776 and its original adobe mission chapel, completed in the late 18th century, is the oldest surviving structure in San Francisco. The mission complex documents Spanish colonial and Mexican-era history in the region and contains an on-site cemetery with early settler graves. The mission remains an active parish and operates a museum that preserves religious art, artifacts, and records related to California mission history.
