Mission Santa Clara de Asís

Mission Santa Clara de Asís in Santa Clara, north-west of San Jose, was founded by Franciscans in 1777 as the eighth Spanish mission in California and the first named after a woman, Saint Clare of Assisi. The present church, rebuilt after a fire in 1926 and consecrated in 1929, stands on the campus of Santa Clara University and serves as its chapel.
