We visited the Santa Barbara Presidio. This was a military base of New Spain that protected the Santa Barbara Mission and settlers. It also provided a seat in government. The Presidio was built in a quadrangle.
The buildings were made of sun-dried adobe bricks and then white-washed. Luke is here next to some adobe bricks that are drying out to renovate the buildings.
This part of the Presidio is the second oldest building in California.
These are two of the cannons that protected the Presidio.
The chapel in the Presidio was the first in Santa Barbara. They had just refurbished and newly painted it.
Here was the large kitchen with a wood burning Horno.
These are artifacts from excavations done by local university students.
Holly and I are Spaniards now!
