The mission was built by Franciscan monks as they tried to spread Christianity in New Spain. Interestingly, Jesuits were the first missionaries in the region, but Franciscans took over after the Jesuit Expulsion in 1768. The left tower on the church was just recently restored and work on the right tower will begin next month.
