The mission was founded in 1776 by Spanish missionaries of the Franciscan order. The history of the mission is presented very impressively here with many old and well-preserved artifacts and buildings. A visit is worthwhile. The mission is not yet overrun by tourists, so you can get in without any problems even without booking in advance. The entrance fee is $18 for adults. An audio guide is included.

Mission San Juan Capistrano was founded more than two hundred years ago, in 1776. It was the 7th of 21 missions in California. This mission is one of the few that only allows visitors with a purchased tour, but bikers can also get a view of the old structures by riding through.
