Mission San Francisco de Asis - San Francisco, California

**

Worthy visit. This mission includes a nice chapel, small museum, a very large and beautiful basilica, cemetery/gardens, and a gift shop. Parking is a real hassle. There is 2 hour parking on the street, but all taken by residents who have permits. There is a paid parking garage about three blocks south, but there are many homeless and junkies there. I would recommend using public transportation or uber and get dropped off right in front of the mission.

Mixed emotions. I love the California missions! I love the history. I love the beauty and the religious experience. But, all things considered; this is one of the smaller missions. It does have a small artifact collection but compared to some of the other missions, especially those in Southern California, it is not … as impressive.

The mission and the church are beautiful. If you like historic buildings and architecture it’s a great way to spend a couple of hours in San Francisco. For a family of five the tour was about $30.

Mission Dolores is a gem. Much of it is original from 1791, when the church building was completed. The simplicity of the interior is adorned by beautiful art. The historic graveyard also contains an Ohlone willow dwelling in recognition of the original inhabitants of the area. There is also a very nice gift shop at the exit.

I saw an 18th century(?) spanish(?) brass table or altar crucifix.

Also, use the middle doors in the bascillica for bathroom.

Also, be careful of the steps.

This mission is just gorgeous in all of its original glory. The chapel took our breaths away. So much to look at and read and see. The outside original cemetery was so very interesting and extremely well looked after. They also offer a lovely gift shop, as in the cherry on top. A must see oh, and I did I say this chapel is the oldest building in SF that survived all of the earth quakes and fires.

This was such a lovely piece of history to explore. The original mission church and grounds were beautiful and peaceful to wander around. We were unable to check out the larger basilica as there was a wedding happening when we were there. This was well worth the $7 entrance fee.

The last time I was there was like 31 yrs ago, during las purisimas...I have such very fond memories of these amazing celebrations!! I don't know if they still do them or not. I haven't been back to San Francisco since 95!!
