The Convento Building, known for its iconic arched portico or colonnade, was built between 1808 and 1822 and is the only original building remaining at the Mission San Fernando Rey de España in the Mission Hills section of San Fernando Valley in California in the United States. It was also the largest adobe building in California and the largest original building at any of the California missions.
It has been used as a residential building for the missionaries, John C. Fremont's base of operations, and as a Butterfield Stage Line stop.
