1b: Mission Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion

Read Mission Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion

Observations…
- What symbols suggest Christianity?
- What design elements suggest the number 3?
- What do the colors symbolize?
Compare to Spanish (Spain) churches – Obradorio façade of Santiago de Compostela, etc.
- Why is the San Antonio mission so much simpler than the churches of Spain?
