Description

� Christine Till
San Diego de Alcal�, the first of the great California Missions, marks the birthplace of Christianity in the far West. It is California's first church. The mission was named for St. Didacus of Alcal�, Spain.

The architecture of the Saint Francis Chapel is interesting and the interior is beautiful, yet simple. The main church is 150' long, 35' wide and 29' high. Its long and narrow layout is a consequence of the trees available to use for its beams (the doorway beams are original, dating back to the 1813 reconstruction). The original windows were built high to retard attack, covered with treated rawhides instead of glass.

This remarkable and significant historical shrine provides an understanding and appreciation of the beginning of Christianity in this corner of the world, so remote from the Mother Country of Spain and yet so similar.
