Mission San Xavier Del Bac

Mission San Xavier Del Bac is a historic Spanish mission located in Vail, CO that was built in the 18th century. This mission, also known as the "White Dove of the Desert," is considered to be one of the finest examples of Spanish colonial architecture in the United States and is a must-visit destination for tourists and visitors.

The mission was established in 1692 by Spanish missionary Father Eusebio Kino and played a crucial role in spreading Christianity and converting Native Americans to Catholicism in the region. Today, it still serves as an active church and is open to the public for tours and worship. Visitors can admire the intricate Baroque and Moorish details of the mission's exterior, as well as the beautiful frescoes and paintings inside. It is also a popular site for cultural events, including traditional Native American celebrations and church festivals.

In addition to its religious significance, Mission San Xavier Del Bac also holds great historical importance for its role in preserving the cultural heritage of the Tohono O'odham tribe, who have strong ties to the site. The mission's stunning architecture and religious artifacts offer a glimpse into the rich history of Spanish colonialism in the American Southwest. Whether you are interested in history, architecture, or spirituality, a visit to Mission San Xavier Del Bac is a must for anyone visiting Vail, CO.
