Mission San Ignacio Kadakaaman was founded by the Jesuits in 1728 the palm-fringed lakeside mission site, fed by a year round creek or arroyo, was a true oasis, set in rugged desert terrain strewn with volcanic boulders and scarred by deep ravines. Construction of the fortress-like mission was essentially complete by 1786. Abundant local volcanic stone was the basic building material, while the great wooden beams that span the church and conventual quarters were hewn from forests in the local sierra. According to legend, funds for this ambitious project were provided in part by the Queen of Spain.
