About Misión de Santo Tomás de Aquino
The Misión de Santo Tomás de Aquino was founded by Dominican missionaries in the late eighteenth century along Spain's mission chain down the Baja California peninsula. It sought to convert local Indigenous communities and was later relocated for lack of water. It formed one of the last links in Spain's mission system in the Californias.
