Mission San Fernando Rey de España

Mission San Fernando Rey de España was founded in 1797 as a Spanish Mission in what is now Mission Hills, a community in Los Angeles. It was named by the Spanish for Saint Ferdinand. Both the city of San Fernando and the San Fernando Valley were named after the mission. The mission was secularized in 1834 and returned to the Catholic Church in 1861. After falling into despair, the mission was restored in the 1940s from a generous gift provided by the Hearst Foundation. The mission grounds currently serve as a museum and are definitely worth visiting. The mission is located at 15151 San Fernando Mission Boulevard.
