Mission of San Jose del Cabo Church

This iconic Catholic Church located in the heart of Cabo was founded in 1730. Its brilliant white bell towers and striking interior pay homage to the life and death of Jesuit priest, Nicolas Tamaral, who was martyred on the site where this building now stands. The church remains a destination for travelers seeking an escape from the festive city streets and sandy stretches of scenic beach. Those looking for a taste of history can learn about the destruction that took place during a major hurricane in the early 1900s and see what remains or the original walls, mosaics and façade on a tour of the church.
