Mission San Buenaventura

Monuments such as the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem and San Vitale in Ravenna, perform a great importance in Byzantine and Islamic architecture. Both of these structures did not exclusively represent the main place of worship, but most importantly as a symbol of achievement and growth within the current times of construction. Starting in 524, under the influence of Orthodox bishop Ecclesius, the development of San Vitale was to represent the achievements of the emperor Justinian. Julius Argentarius was the sponsor for this structure and it was dedicated by Bishop Maximian in 547. The Dome of the Rock is built on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem in 692 with the help of Abd al-Malik with the suspected intention to symbolize Islams influence in

The San Fernando mission was the 17th mission founded by father juniper Serra. It was built to fill the gap between the mission San Buenaventura and the mission San Gabriel. We talked a lot about the Indians in the class and you mentioned that they are the silent victims of the history. I went to the mission in search to find answers to some of my questions and to confirm

Have you learned about missions? One about the missions was that Junipero Serra founded only 9 of the 21 missions founded in California. One of the missions founded by Junipero Serra was Mission Santa Clara De Asis(Wikipedia “Junipero Serra) which is the mission I’m going to inform you about. One of the resources that I used for this paper was “The Missions: California’s Heritage,Mission Santa Clara De Asis” by Mary Null Boulé, published by Merryant Publishers, 1988.

San Francisco Solano Mission was founded on July 4th, 1823 by Fr. Jose Altamira, Father Altamira, which was the last mission in California. The mission got its name from St. Francis Solano, missionary to the Peruvian Indians (Simondi). After the arrival of Father Altamira, he decided to create a new mission north of San Francisco Bay. He selected the sight of the mission with the approval of Governor Luis Arguello, but he did not ask the church for an official approval. Also, he wanted to close down the mission at San Rafael and San Francisco because “the Governor’s concern about the

The Alamo was originally built as a mission church in 1718 for San Antonio de Valero. These mission churches were used as schools for Indians, when not being used for church services. The mission when first built was just several huts and a small stone tower. However, in 1724 the tower was destroyed by a storm. It took approximately another twenty years for them to build a church building that was finished in 1744. The construction of this church was not very good and it collapsed in 1756. They then started to build another second church in 1758 to replace the one that had collapsed, however, it was never finished and this is how it looks

The name of my mission is La Purisima Concepcion. Father Presidente found La Purisima Concepcion on December 8th 1787. La Purisima was the 11th mission in the mission chain. This mission is located within the Santa Barbara county in a town called Lompoc. This is the rebuilt mission. The other one, a few miles away, was destroyed by earthquakes. Yes, the mission was moved to Lompoc after the original was destroyed.

It was founded by Fray Jose Altimira on July 4, 1823. Mission Sonoma, it’s shaped like a square of long buildings, forming a quadrangle, made of adobe bricks and wood. In one corner was the church, adjacent was living quarters and parallel were the workshops, kitchen, and storage. In addition, there were orchards, gardens, vineyards, fields of grain, a grist mill, houses for the soldiers and Indian families, a jail, a cemetery, and an infirmary.

In the early 1700's, the country of Spain sent many explorers to the western world to claim land and find riches. When California was founded by several Spanish explorers, like Cabrillo, and De Anza, Spain decided to send missionaries to build missions. There are a total of 21 missions built in California. Mission Santa Ines was the 19th mission and was built to share the European God with the Indians and how to eat and dress like Europeans. Father Tapis wanted to make the Indians Christians and

Spanish settlers built the Mission San Antonio de Valero, named for St. Anthony of Padua, on the banks of the San Antonio River around 1718. They also established the nearby military garrison of San Antonio de Béxar, which soon became the center of a settlement known as San Fernando de Béxar (later renamed San Antonio). The Mission San Antonio de Valero housed missionaries and their Native American converts for some 70 years until 1793, when Spanish authorities secularized the five missions located in San Antonio and distributed their lands among local residents.Beginning in the early 1800s, Spanish military troops were stationed in the abandoned chapel of the former mission. Because it stood in a grove of cottonwood trees, the soldiers called

In San Francisco, the two oldest historic structures that can be seen from the Spanish period are the Presidio and mission established by the Spanish in 1776. The Mission of San Francisco Assisi or Mission Dolores was built to Christianize the Indians of the region and train them to follow Spanish ideals and customs of “civilization”. The mission in San Francisco is the oldest building still intact today. The mission has been a loyal witness to the extent of San Francisco's history, including the Gold Rush and the 1906 earthquake. It was so well built that it was unharmed during the 1906 earthquake and great fire. Today in San Francisco, the mission can still be visited and has become a tourist attraction. The main chapel

runelleschi’s other church, San Lorenzo was altered to make it more of a “T”-shaped lay-out. The overall effect is muted because you don’t get the same sight lights as Santo Spirito, but you can still see the use of repeating architectural elements along the naive of the church. I really like the use of plain columns and fluted pilasters along the side chapels. The mix of these vertical elements contrasts nicely and is just as visually appealing as the single repeated column element in Santo
