About The SJC Mission

Built in 1776, one of Father Junipero Serra's historic missions known for the return of the swallows every March. The birthplace of Orange County, Mission San Juan Capistrano, was founded more than two centuries ago. Today it is a monument to California's multicultural history, embracing its Native American, Spanish, Mexican and European heritage.
