Mission San Juan Bautista, the fifteenth
mission, was founded June 24th, 1797. The
Mission stands on a low mesa in the town of
San Juan, midway between Salinas and Gil-
roy, overlooking a fruitful valley. The church
dating from 1812, was the only one of the
California Missions that had three aisles. The
wing portions of the mission have fallen, but
the central portion is in an excellent state of
preservation, and parish services are held
regularly.
