Jalpan Mission in Sierra Gorda
Although the mission in Jalpan was established before JunAipero Serrs 1750 arrival into the region, Serra is given credit for building the five main missions of this area and completing the evangelization of the local people.
In reality, the missions were built by Pame hands, under the direction of various Franciscan monks including JoseAntonio de MurguAia in ConcAa, Juan Crispi in Tilaco, Juan Ramos de Lora in Tancoyol and Miguel de la Campa in Landa.
However, the vision for the building of the missions was Serrs, as he imagined a type of utopia based on Franciscan principles. Serra insisted that the missionaries learn the local languages and experience hunger along with the rest of the population. There was still hostility to the Spanish presence, and Serrs response was economic as well as spiritual.
The main feature of these churches is the ornate decoration of the main portals, although there is decoration on the bell towers and in some churches, other areas as well
