Many of the following photographs of the Santa Barbara Mission show examples of how locally quarried stone was used in the construction of the Santa Barbara Mission and on the mission grounds. If you would like to read more about the Santa Barbara Mission and view more photographs, visit the sections about the California missions in the “History of Quarrying in California from the California Indians Up to Present Time” section of our web site. (These photographs were taken in mid-January 2011, by Peggy B. Perazzo and Pat Perazzo.)
