San Luis Obispo, CA – The Mission

Previous Page

mission-san-luis-obispo-1 mission-san-luis-obispo-4 This mission is often called the ‘Prince’ of the missions. It was named for the 13th century saint, the Bishop of Toulouse. The church is still in operation. The tile roof is the first of its kind used on the California missions. They used tile instead of wood or thatch because often they would be faced with flaming arrow attacks by the Indians.

There is an excellent museum that contains a large collection of Chumash Indian artifacts and memorabilia from the early settlers. Open from 9 to 4:30 from mid June to September and from 9am until 4pm the rest of the year. Phone number is (805) 543-6850.

Located in downtown San Luis Obispo at the end of Monterrey Street at the intersection of Chorro. Nice place to relax along the nearby creek – and good starting point for walking around downtown, exploring shops and various creekside based restaurants or bars.

    Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa is such a historical treasure. Every time I visit, I’m struck by its serene beauty and the sense of history that permeates the area. It’s amazing to think about how much this mission has witnessed over the centuries. Do you ever get the feeling that the mission’s gardens are the perfect spot for some quiet reflection? 🌸 I love bringing friends and family here when they visit—it’s a peaceful escape in the heart of the city. Have you explored the surrounding area too? The downtown architecture really complements the mission’s historic charm.
