CareyPhotography > A weathered door at historical Mission San Juan Capistrano, the 7th of 21 California Missions founded by Father Junipero Serra. Mission San Juan Capistrano is known as "The Jewel of the Missions" and is a registered National Landmark and a Historic National Treasure.
CareyPhotography > A tallow cooking stove found on the grounds of Mission San Juan Capistrano, the 7th of 21 California Missions founded by Father Junipero Serra. The Mission was severely damaged by an earthquake in 1812; excavations in 1935 unearthed the Missions's industrial center. Tallow, the rendered fat of animals such as cows and sheep, is used to produce soap, candles, grease and ointment.
CareyPhotography > The lush gardens of the courtyard of Mission San Juan Capistrano, the 7th of 21 missions founded by Father Junipero Serra in California. This was a dirt work area during the Mission's heydey.
CareyPhotography > The two original large bells from the Campanile of The Great Stone Church at Mission San Juan Capistrano. These bells were damaged in the earthquake of 1812 and would no longer ring properly. Replicas now hang in the Campanario, while these now hang where the Campranile used to stand.

The largest bell is named San Vicente. The inscription reads "Viva Jesus, Sn Vicente Advon
De Los RRS PS Miros F VIcte Fustr IF JN SN TIAGO 1796”"
The English Translation reads, "Praised be Jesus, San Vicente. In
honor of the Re. Fathers, Ministers (of the Mission) Fray Vicente
Fuster, and Fray Juan Santiago, 1796."

The smaller bell is San Juan. The inscription reads, "ave maria purisima me fesit
ruelas Ime yamo s. juan, 1796”"
The English translation reads, "Hail Mary most pure. Ruelas made
me, and my name is San Juan, 1796."
CareyPhotography > The campanaria, or bell wall, of Mission San Juan Capistrano as seen from the Sacred Garden, silhouetted against a blue sky. The campanaria was built after the campanile, the original bell tower, was destroyed in the 1812 earthquake. The two smaller bells are original, while the two larger ones, which had been damaged in the earthquake, are replicas. The two large original bells are on display at the location where the original campanile stood.
