Mission San Juan Capistrano, "The Jewel of the Missions", is the pride of the city as well as Orange County. It is one of California's most important historical, cultural and educational centers. Areas of interest within the mission include early adobe barracks, Friars quarters, an olive millstone, an aquaduct system, beautiful gardens and the original stone church. Mission San Juan Capistrano is a non-profit historic site supported solely by donations and tourism. It is located on Ortega Highway west Sof Interstate 5 and is open daily. The mission hosts a variety of events nearly every weekend and is also available for private functions, corporate events and guided tours.
The mission is also famous for the amazing swallows who leave each year on October 23rd, St. John's Day and return each year on March 19th, St. Joseph's Day. When the swallows return home, the city of San Juan Capistrano takes on a festive atmosphere while visitors from all over come to witness the miraculous event.
