Mission San Luis

Mission San Luis

As Florida's only reconstructed mission, Mission San Luis offers an invaluable glimpse into the state's Catholic past under Spanish colonial rule. The mission's history is made accessible by living history presentations and hands-on exhibits. The Indians who lived alongside the European settlers also receive special emphasis in the council house and in the reenactments of native ball games.
