California's 21 Missions- Which is the Largest?

Question: Which is the largest of California's 21 mission?

It strikes us just how rich the California heritage is when we look to the missions of California's past. 21 were founded this side of a border created long after the missions in Baja Mexico and California were built. Be Californians only study the 21 on this side of the border. Some have virtually disappeared, but thanks to those who cared, many were saved and rebuilt. They aren't the original structures that could not survive earthquakes, but they do provide the look and feel of the original buildings, and they contain graves of those who lived on the grounds, and sometimes even built the missions, themselves.

Answer: The largest of the missions is located in San Juan Bautista. That mission will have a Fiesta on June 20, 2010 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
