Mission San Francisco Solano, founded in 1823, is the 21st and final California mission. Unlike the larger missions, this one is modest in scale, featuring a simple adobe chapel and a small museum with period artifacts. Visitors can see the original altar, painted decorations, and exhibits on mission life. It's part of Sonoma State Historic Park, offering a glimpse into early California's religious and colonial history.
