Panoramic photo of wide open plaza with paths and building fragments

As you exit the doorway of the sacristy you are facing into the convento courtyard. The convento—an open square of buildings with a central courtyard—was a focus of community life. To your left, an earthen berm protects the foundations of a row of work rooms that were vital to life at the mission. Straight ahead is a section of low, reconstructed wall, indicating the location of the wall, which enclosed the east side of the square. To your right was another row of rooms, some of which still stand, including rooms where the priest lived. Here, within the rooms of the convento, were a kitchen, ironworker's shop, carpentry shop, weaving room, leather shop, and grain grinding mill. All contributed to community life and to support of mission construction.
