Santa Clara Mission

Thumbnails Detail Map Comments

This is a terrific cemetery with old graves as well as new. It was founded at its present location in 1851, but before that it had moved four times after it was founded by the Franciscan Padres who founded Mission Santa Clara de Asis in 1777.

The old parts of the cemetery have some beautiful 19th century graves and family mausoleums (I didn't find any graves older than that.) There are several large areas of children's graves from the 20s and 50s, as well as recent years, and there are multiple areas where Franciscan fathers, Jesuit priests, and nuns are buried. It's worth a visit.
