Description


Mission San Rafael Arcángel

Mission San Rafael Arcángel was founded in 1817 as a medical asistencia ("sub-mission") of Mission San Francisco de Asís. It was a hospital to treat sick Native Americans, making it Alta California's first sanitarium. The weather was much better than in San Francisco, which helped the ill get better.[9] It was intended to be a stand-alone mission but nevertheless grew and prospered and it was granted full mission status on October 19, 1822.
