Only in the front i think

Mission Santa Barbara was built to convert Native Americans to Catholicism, to colonize California, and to expand the Spanish Empire.

I've seen one

It's a part of the Franciscan Order from Spain whose mission was to convert the native Americans to Christianity in the name of the Spanish monarchy. They set up several mission sites along the coast of California which eventually became buildings housing the monks but also serving the community as it grew around them. The monks take a vow of poverty and their mission now is to serve those in need, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Technically, no. The Franciscan Fathers that traveled from Mexico into Alta California (starting with Father Junipero Serra) went with the vision to "save souls." They truly believed that they were doing God's work through conversion. The Fathers purposefully built their missions close to Native American villages in a desire to convert Indians, thus becoming neophytes. Other requirements were necessary when building missions, year-round water source and fertile lands in order to make their missions sustainable and profitable. Here's the catch that continues to plague the mission system. Once a Native American was baptized and became a neophyte, many Mission Fathers required that they remain within the confines of the mission quadrangle. Some neophytes did become disillusioned after conversion and escaped. Soldiers (usually 5 per mission) were sent out to find and return those who left. Not all missions had these strict requirements, but many did.

When Mexico declared its independence and a declining Spanish empire was unable to stop her. It was hard to tell who was in charge because Governors came and went rapidly. No longer under the padres control, land speculators were able to get missions lands. The missions quickly fell from civilized prosperous settlements, into ruin.

That would be something to find out locally. We didn't see any options online.

There main jobs were that of being a priest bringing the word of God to native Americans. Of course being missionaries meant they did a lot of other things. They had Spanish soldiers for protection

Yes, you can walk around the Mission building and check it's different types of architectural designs and also you can walk inside the church with binoculars and check the entire interior without paying a penny!!!

There has been several repairs through the centuries, from the original construction to our days The most recent repair if not wrong was done in 2007, when the monks gave the church a good côté of paint!!!

I don't think you will need permission for that.

This mission under the Catholic faith, is managed by the Franciscans Order.

At the present time Santa Barbara mission serves as a Parish Church, a Franciscan monastery, a seminary for Franciscans and it also functions as a repository for historical mission records.

The official literature calls Mission Santa Barbara "Queen of the Missionsfor its graceful beauty." Founded on December 4th, 1786, it was the tenth of 21 Franciscan missions in California.

Your question is vague. I agree with Pete what do you mean crop system? Are you asking someone to do your homework? They raised the same as all Californians they had the olive trees and the corn and veggies potatoes hemp and cotton and sheeps & goats & cattle. They had all the Spanish imports. And the native knowledge from the Chumash & others. They also made fabrics from the fibrous plants too. These answers of California history Google is your friend. I am reaching back to my fifth grade history when we covered Mission life in California that was a million years ago. Again I say Google is your friend.
