Visita de La Presentación photos 1906 to today (4 more added 2-28)

Baja Nomad member Tehag sent me his recent photos of the 1769 ruins of the San Javier mission visita of La Presentación, located about 12 miles south of San Javier. The ruins of the chapel, granary and pila (reservoir) are still visible though disappearing! The doorway was reported collapsed not long ago, after over 230 years since the Franciscans built the visita when they took over mission activities from the Jesuits.

I decided it would be interesting to see the stone visita ruins over more than 100 years since the first photo (?) was taken about 1905.
