Page "Spanish missions in California" Paragraph 69

Today, the missions exist in varying degrees of architectural integrity and structural soundness.

The most common extant features at the mission grounds include the church building and an ancillary convento ( convent ) wing.

In some cases ( in San Rafael, Santa Cruz, and Soledad, for example ), the current buildings are replicas constructed on or near the original site.

Other mission compounds remain relatively intact and true to their original, Mission Era construction.
