Mission San Xavier del Bac

Historic mission church in Arizona, regarded as one of the finest examples of Spanish colonial architecture in the USA. It is located 14 km/9 mi southwest of Tucson, on the San Xavier Reservation; population (1990) 1,200.

The mission at San Xavier was founded before 1700 by the Jesuit priest Eusebio Kino. The present church was built in the late 18th century by Franciscans; it is the only one that is still active on an original Kino site, and is a place of worship for the local Tohono O'odham (Papago) indigenous people.
