Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa is one of the more interesting Missions we have visited. Most of the Missions are in a more neighborhood or rural setting, this one feels very vibrant and alive, like we are in a big city.
Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa was built in the 1790's and is the fifth mission built in California. Restoration back to the original setting began in 1933. Outside of the Mission is Mission Plaza which hosts various social and community events.
The Mission church has lovely painted decorations with a high ceiling, it is very narrow. The gardens are nice. The Mission church is still active and Mass is said twice daily, with 3 additional services on Sundays.
