The Pearl of the Desert

The San Xavier del Bac Mission is located about 10 miles south of Tucson, AZ. It was founded in 1692.

Nice view of the Mission but the stitch has some leveling issues. Both sides seem to slant down towards the middle.

That's a cool looking Mission church, I have visited many of them, but I don't think I have this one. Good job.

Thanks Alan for your comments, appreciated!
I will try stiching the files and correct the levels in each and see if that fixes the issue!

Hi Jim if you are ever in Tucson plan to visit this mission, it is only 10 miles south of Tucson and well worth the trip. I recently posted a couple of times on the history thread showing some of the interior of the mission, a must see collection of 17th century craftsmanship!

This place is on my bucket list when we visit southern Arizona again. Its a great view you provided. You have to wonder what happened to the other bell-tower - lightning? It probably saw a few strikes since 1692. Many of the churches we have seen in Mexico have the same problem but are still being used. This one is on outskirts of San Miguel de Alende.

Thank you Dave for your comments and sharing the beautiful image, very much appreciated!

When we were there in 2012 the church was being refurbished and the tower on the left was nearly finished and the tower on the right had a ways to go toe completely refinished. The interior is incredible furnished with hand tooled statuary. I have some images of the interior in the history thread.
