Mission Bells

Tucson, AZ view map

A small bell tower on the west side of San Xavier Mission.

A National Historic Landmark, San Xavier Mission was founded as a Catholic mission by
Father Eusebio Kino in 1692. Construction of the current church began in 1783 and was
completed in 1797. It is the oldest intact European structure in Arizona.
