The name of our mission is San Buenaventura. It was built March 31, 1784 . Father Cyprian Ruio started our mission. It is located at 211 East Main Street Ventura, Califorina. Our mission was built because Spanish missionaries wanted to convert to natives Catholicisms.Also, the  king of Spain wanted to claim more land for Spain and wanted the natives to support them. It was also rebuilt because the first mission was burned down.

     Our mission was built on the Pacific Coast of California. Its nickname is "The Mission by the Sea." Also, it is on the El Camino Real. The materials that were used to build the mission were adobe brick and arches. The layout of the mission  included a cemetary, church, patio, workshops, and a padres quarters. The buildings in the mission are unique because it is white and brown with a blue fountain. It also has two bells, and a cross on top of the church.
