San Xavier Mission is acclaimed by many to be the finest example of mission architecture in the United States. It is a graceful blend of Moorish, Byzantine and late Mexican Renaissance architecture, yet the blending is so complete it is hard to tell where one type begins and another ends.
I have been taking lots of photos. This is where I am dumping them...Enjoy.

San Xavier del Bac Mission
According to their website,

This is an amazing place. I have been there several times, and each time I am amazed at how elaborate this mission is. I have taken some pictures I really like there, plus I got my glow in the dark Jesus in their gift shop. Any place that sells gitd Jesuses is okay in my book.
