About Missão de Santa Barbara
Old Mission Santa Barbara brings together a church, buildings and gardens associated with the history of the missions in California. The two-tower façade is an architectural reference for the city.
Interpretive spaces allow you to experience the complex beyond exterior photography. Because the church remains in religious use, access to interior spaces depends on services and the available visitor circuit, and entry to all areas is not guaranteed.
To organize a visit to Old Mission Santa Barbara, check visiting hours and reserve a time slot separate from the historic downtown, including travel to the mission grounds. The complex lets you relate the scale of the church to the courtyards and interpretive spaces around it.
