Description
The Mission at San Xavier has many beautiful architectural features, including the bell tower which rises high above the Sonoran Desert, south of Tucson. It is also called the White Dove of the Desert.
Mission San Xavier del Bac was finished in 1797 and is the oldest European structure in Arizona. Located just south of Tucson in the Tohono O'odham San Xavier Indian Reservation, the mission has served as a community and spiritual center for the Tohono O'odham people and has drawn thousands of pilgrims yearly that come to pray to Saint Francis Xavier. The San Xavier mission was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960.
