Mission San Diego de Alcalá, founded in 1769, was the first of the California missions established by Spanish Franciscan missionaries. Initially, it served as a religious and cultural center for Native Americans, as well as a base for Spanish colonial expansion. Over time, it experienced various transformations, including periods of neglect and restoration, but its primary purpose has always been as a mission. Today, it remains an important historical and cultural site.
