Visita de San José de Magdalena
- Visita de San José de Magdalena
The Visita de San José de Magdalena was founded in 1774 by the Dominican missionary Joaquín Valero to serve Cochimí Indians associated with the mission of Santa Rosalía de Mulegé in Baja California Sur, Mexico.
Building a "visita", or subordinate mission station, at the site 16 kilometers west of the Gulf of California was initially proposed by the Franciscan missionary Francisco Palóu prior to the Dominicans' assumption of responsibility for the Baja California missions. The "visita" was terminated when the mission at Mulegé was closed in 1828. Ruined walls of stone and adobe brick survive at the site.
