All The Men 1966

p -

The ci ty of San Diego owes its very exis­ tence to the Spanish missionaries who estab­ lished the first California mission here in 1769. The original building was located in the area now known as Presidio Park, but had to be moved to its present site to assure the safety of its i nhabitants. The new mission of San Diego de Alcala was built by Indian natives under the tutelage of Franciscans. It served as the place of worship for the sizable community that grew up around it.
