THE NAVE Along the walls are four side altars where devotional candles might be placed. In the walls above are niches where ornate statues of saints once stood.Along the interior walls, weathering has exposed the sun-dried adobe bricks made by mission residents. The once brightly-painted walls were decorated by the steady hands of artisans both indigenous and Spanish. Here is what it may have looked like: http://travelthruhistory.com/wp-content ...

Interestingly but not surprising: Shortly after the residents left in 1848, the roof timbers were taken by local settlers for construction elsewhere. For the next seventy years, the nave was exposed and heavily damaged by weather. Looters, seeking Jesuit treasure that never existed, dug holes in the walls and floors.
