Mission Santa Barbara 
Religious Sites, Santa Barbara
Fodor's Review:
Widely referred to as the "Queen of Missions," this is one of the most beautiful and frequently photographed buildings in coastal California. The architecture, which was originally built in 1786, evolved from adobe-brick buildings with thatch roofs to more permanent edifices as its population burgeoned. An earthquake in 1812 destroyed the third church built on the site. Its replacement, the present structure, is still a functioning Catholic church. The building is surrounded by cacti, palms, and other succulents.
