Mission San Xavier del Bac is an old European church. I like how the surrounding environment and the church itself were not renovated. I think this place is interesting to take a look how these missionaries tried to create the same atmosphere as the churches in Europe. The faux mural on the wall and the ceiling is not as advanced as in ones in Europe; however, they tried to utilize what they had. Even the teaches from the books were decorated with the illustrations, but I did not find any gold leaves imprints. It is nice to experience the history from this church.
