The Spanish built presidios, or military forts, to protect their missions from potential attacks by indigenous groups and rival colonial powers. These settlements typically included barracks for soldiers, storage facilities, and sometimes civilian homes, creating a fortified presence in the region. Additionally, pueblos, or towns, were established nearby to support the missions and provide a base for agricultural and economic activities. Together, these structures formed a network of defense around the missions, ensuring their survival and the spread of Spanish influence.
