This is a tough one
This is a mission in northern Mexico, one in a larger group that figure prominently in the later hiistory of Baja California and the California
missions.

#5 is more of a guess, but I think it's Mision Santo Domingo de la Frontera.

academicanarchist, I hate to tell you this but when you put your curser in the picture it tells you what it is. You are going to have to come up with
a better system.

To be honest I used my Las Misiones Antiguas book by Edward W. Vernon.
#2 and 4 were identical photos in the book but 5 was a little different. 1, 3, and 6 I couldn't find until Comitan pointed out the cursor thing. Gees
I could have saved a lot of time. But I did enjoy thumbing thru the book.

AA I think if you change the saved title name of the pix before attaching would fix it.

Well, my cursor isn't showing titles this morning. It has in the past.

No guesses?
Ok. No guesses on the last three missions, which are tough. Before coming to Baja California and later California, Serra and some of his cohort worked
in the Sierra Gorda missions, located in a mountainous region of Queretaro. Several years ago UNESCO listed five of the missions on the World
Patrimony list. The three in order are Tilaco, Landa, and Conca.
