San Jose del Cabo (1730-1840)

The mission was originally located near the beach and estero,
but soon moved 5 miles inland (today's San Jose Viejo).
After Indians destroyed the mission,
it was moved back near the beach in 1735.
In 1753, the mission was again moved about a mile inland.

The modern church in the town plaza is built on the site.

Todos Santos: Santa Rosa de las Palmas (1733-1748),
then Nuestra Senora del Pilar (1748-1840)

The following two photos are at the mission's first site,
just north of Todos Santos.
A modern church is built on the second site, in the town plaza.
This move and name change followed the closure of the mission at La Paz.

Located a mile north of Todos Santos.
This pile of rubble is what remains of the mission.
