Popularly known as Mission Dolores, it is one of the oldest intact building in the City of San Francisco and the only intact Mission Chapel in the chain of 21 established under the direction of Father Serra. The rough-hewn redwood roof timbers are still lashed together with rawhide. The alter is one of the most ornate mission alters. There is a small museum. The photo is taken from behind the towers of the Basilica in the cemetery garden.
The website says: "Mission Dolores is the final resting place of some 5,000 Ohlone, Miwok, and other First Californians who built Mission Dolores and were its earliest members and founders. Other notables include the first Mexican governor, Luis Antonio Arguello, the first commandant of the Presidio, Lieutenant Moraga, and victims of the Committee of Vigilance, Cora, Casey, and Sullivan. Cemetery markers date from 1830 to about 1898.
"The curator of Old Mission San Francisco de Asis is Brother Guire Cleary, S.S.F. His office hours are generally 9:00am-3:00pm, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays" The mission is open daily 9-4. Admission $2. Over 64 $1.
The basilica is still an active church. It is a combination of Moorish, Mission and Corinthian styles.

 Dolores Park, Mission by katpanou
It can be dangerous at some points but it definitely is one of the most popular neighbourhoods of SF at the moment
Dont forget to relax at the Dolores Park with some fine views over the city and the Mission Dolores just beneath it. Leave a Comment

.The Basilica also has a wood carving of Mater Dolorosa, Our Lady of Sorrows, set high above the main alter in a sun burst pattern. The Mission has been honoured by the Pope twice in the last 50 years.

The building managed to survive the 1906 earthquake. It has 4 foot thick adobe walls, redwood beams lashed together with rawhide to support the room and the ceiling is painted with vegetable dyes.

There's a very old cemetery on the Mission Dolores' back garden. It's worth a visit and walk around the century old graves.

This is a funky area, perhaps a bit dirty, very ecclectic with all kinds of cultures represented. The best part is all the murals. Leave a Comment

Pope John Paul II paid a visit to the Mission and this is documented with photographs along the covered walkway to the left of the Basilica.
