Historical Data
Mission
San
Diego
de
Alcala
, also
known
as
San
Diego
Mission
,
is
located
at
10818
San
Diego
Mission
Road
.
It
was
established
on
May
14
,
1769
and
founded
on
July
16th
of the
same
year
by
Father
Junipero
Serra
,
serving
as the
headquarters
of the
Alta
California
Mission
System
from
1769
to
1771
. This was the
first
of the
21
missions
founded
by
Serra
, and was
California's
first
church
. The
Mission
was
originally
built
overlooking
the
bay
, but
remained
there
only
five
years
as the
water
supply
was not
sufficient
for
sustaining
the
crops
, the
soil
was not
fertile
enough
, and the
American
Indians
were
intimidated
by the
military
. The
decision
to
relocate
the
Mission
six
miles
east
was
approved
and the
new
site
was
closer
to the
San
Diego
River
and the
American
Indian
villages
.
Unfortunately
this
new
location
proved
to be a
bit
problematic
, as the
land
was
difficult
to
till
and the
water
was not
always
plentiful
. But with
perseverance
, the
Mission
eventually
became
more
productive
.
Over
the
years
, the
church
was
enlarged
to
accommodate
the
growing
population
. In
1931
, the
Mission
was
rebuilt
to
mirror
the
1813
church
structure
. On
April
15
,
1970
,
Mission
San
Diego
de
Alcala
was
designated
a
National
Historic
Landmark
, and was
added
to the
National
Register
of
Historic
Places
-
#70000144
.
It
was also
designated
a
California
Historical
Landmark
-
#242
, and a
City
of
San
Diego
Historic
Designation
-
#113
. In
1976
,
Pope
Paul
VI
designated
Mission
San
Diego
de
Alcala
as a
Minor
Basilica
.
Today
this
Mission
serves
as an
active
Catholic
parish
and
cultural
center
.
