Mission San Gabriel Arcangel
Mission San Gabriel Arcángel, the "Pride of the Missions," was founded on September 8 (the "Birthday of Mary"), 1771 in present day Montebello by Padres Pedro Benito Cambón and Angel Fernández de la Somera. This fourth mission (named for the Archangel Gabriel) was situated in the First Military District, and was designed by Father Antonio Cruzado (who hailed from Córdoba, Spain, which accounts for the Mission's strong Moorish influence).
