Father Junípero Serra built first mission in San Diego in 1769.Until 1823, there were 21 missions in total in California along El Camino Real – roughly Highway 101 today. Harsh weather and earthquakes certainly don’t help the reservation of the 21 California Missions but most of them are still functioning – church services, weddings and funerals.

西班牙傳教士Father Junípero Serra從1769年起，在聖地牙哥蓋了一座傳道院，之後沿著太平洋北上到Sonoma (舊金山北邊一點) ，一路 興建傳道院，到1823年止，共建了21座；經過兩百多年的風吹日曬雨淋加地震，大致上是保留下來，現在統稱 21 California Missions。
