Church wall and belfry.
A very good view of how the belfry sits sideways on the building. The main entrance to the church is just below the bells. Keep looking, that door is here somewhere. ;-)
This is the first time I've ever seen a belfry sitting like this. Anyone else out there ever see the like . . . besides at this mission?
Enjoy, and thanks for viewing.

Noooope....I ain't seen one like it either :)
Looks old.....any idea the age of the structure?
i like old buildings :) this one looks great.
Can't remember for certain, but all these mission date from around 1720-1730. They were build as a line of defense against French incursions from Louisiana: possession being 9/10 of the law. If Spain is here, all others keep out.
