Overview
Mission San Francisco de Asís, known as Mission Dolores, is the oldest surviving structure in San Francisco, in the Mission District. Founded on October 9, 1776 by Padre Francisco Palóu to evangelize the local Ohlone, its simple adobe chapel stands beside the much larger, ornate Mission Dolores Basilica (1918), with a small museum and cemetery.
