Upper photo: view of the Pacific Coast Highway looking west towards a lighthouse. The road runs along the shore at right between the calm ocean at left and the steep cliffs at right.

Exterior view of San Miguel Arcangel from the southeast, showing an arcade supporting a tile roof (left) and the church (right). Over one of the arches is written "San Miguel Mission" and "1797." A bell suspended from a wooden frame is visible in front of the church wall (right).
The Mission of San Antonio de Padua is located in the valley of the San Antonio River along the Santa Lucia Mountains. From 1893, after the roof tiles were removed, there was no roof over the church or the arcade walkway until a 1903-1908 restoration. The photograph shows the arcade with no roof and a wooden roof over the church and may therefore show the church during the restoration
