Conception Bay

Conception Bay and Mission La Purísima Concepción ruins (Jesuit, 1718).
"This mission has completely fallen. It was made of adobe mud mixed with large round stones and not of adobe brick as were most of the adobe missions."

Comondu Mission

Comondú Mission (Jesuit, 1708). San José de Comondú. "This stone mission was considered, along with San Xavier and San Ignacio, as one of the three most beautiful on the peninsula; but it was partially torn down in 1928 to make room for a school" - McDonald.

Site San Jose del Cabo Mission (Viejo)

San José del Cabo (Jesuit, 1730). "Virtually nothing remains at these two sites to indicate the size or shape of these buildings. Both were apparently of adobe, but even that would be difficult to ascertain."
