Gregs adventures in Tucson

Mission San Xavier Del Bac
Quoted from the website

"Mission San Xavier del Bac is situated in the Santa Cruz Valley nine miles south of Tucson.
The present church was built from 1783 - 1797 by the Franciscan Fathers Juan Bautista Velderrain and Juan Bautista Llorenz. Why the one tower was never completed is still a mystery, but hopefully one day this question will be answered.

The church is a series of domes and arches that create enclaves for themes of painting on the various walls, domes and rooms. The area behind the high altar is a dazzling gilt of colors. The wall paintings are all original, but over time have needed to be touched up. Time and the harsh desert weather have taken a toll on the the beauty that is within the church and the entire mission complex."
