The Mission San Antonio de Padua was the third mission station of the Spaniards in California , at that time a province of the viceroyalty of New Spain ( Upper California ).
The structure is located in Jolon, Monterey County , California , on the eastern slopes of the Santa Lucia Mountains . The main building is now used, among other things, as a museum and a Catholic church.
history
On July 14, 1771, the La Misión de San Antonio de Padua was founded by Padre Presidente Junípero Serra. In 1773 all major buildings were relocated 1 mile due to the water supply. Above all Indians were proselytized; many camped on the site. In 1805 the number of residents grew to 1,300. Up to 1832, 4,419 baptisms, 1,142 weddings and 3,617 funerals were held in the church. In 1834, the Mexican secularization act of 1833 limited the number to 150; in the same year the mission was abandoned and disintegrated.
The buildings were restored from 1903 to 1908 by means of the California Landmark League, but most of the repairs were destroyed in the 1906 earthquake , the complete reconstruction lasted until 1952. From 1928 the building was used again (by Franciscans) as a kind of monastery.
The buildings under the patronage of Anthony of Padua belong to the diocese of Monterey in California .
Monument aspects
The building complex has been a California Historical Landmark since 1936 and has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1976 .
