There they erected a cross and shelter for worship to bring Christianity to the Ohlone/Costanoan people. Floods and earthquakes damaged many of the early structures and forced relocation to higher ground. The second site is known as Mission Santa Clara de Asís. The current site, home to the first college in Alta California, dates back to 1828.
