Santa Ines has classic, carved wooden doors. The interior walls are painted murals in a native style; some are painted to look like marble. There are three bells in front of the Mission; one on top and two below at the bell wall. The church was faced with brick, cemented with lime and seashells. Dark brown columns are painted on the exterior, on each side of the door.

The earthquake of December, 1812 also struck Mission Santa Ines, destroying the church and damaging other buildings; but later, in 1817, it was rebuilt.

Today the Mission Santa Ines is an active parish church, served by the Capuchin Franciscan fathers. In 1972 the Mission gardens were restored in the shape of a cross, with a fountain in the middle. Eighteen of the 22 arches along the residence building have been rebuilt.

I think its cool that they are using this Mission as a parish church and that it has a museum. And I think its great that it has been standing for 200 years!!!!!!!!
