Mission La Purísima Concepción is a historic Spanish mission located in California, founded in 1787. It was the 11th mission established in the California Mission System and is known for its well-preserved buildings and beautiful gardens. The mission was named in honor of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary. The mission served as a center for the Franciscan missionaries, who aimed to convert the local Chumash people to Christianity. Today, it is a state park, allowing visitors to explore its grounds, learn about its history, and appreciate the architecture that reflects the early days of California's colonial period.
