Old Mission Santa Barbara

Tour the landmark mission, museum, and gardens to understand Santa Barbara's Spanish and Chumash history, with hilltop ocean views.

Santa Barbara's original mission sits in Mission Canyon as it has since 1786, with thick adobe walls, a garden, and the kind of quiet that makes you slow down. Come in the morning light or afternoon when the stones glow warm.
