Starting in 1769, Spain built a chain of 21 missions across the length of Alta California —from San Diego to Sonoma —as a way of gaining a foothold in the new frontier. California's mission era ended in 1834, but you can still see the architectural legacy that endures in the state's red San Diego de Alcalá.
