Mission Concepción

Founded 1731

Mission Nuestra Señora de la Purisima Concepción de Acuña was completed in 1755 and is the oldest unrestored stone church in the United States. But unrestored does not mean unchanged. Originally it had colorful exterior decorations and numerous frescoes within the church, portions of which are still visible. The church is named in honor of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, another name for the Virgin Mary, Jesus’s Mother. Inside you will see several images of the Virgin Mary.
