Huell Howser did a really good video on Mission San Miguel. Here's the link. It includes other missions as well. https://blogs.chapman.edu/huell-howser-archives/2000/12/08/california-missions-california-missions-104/

Mission San Miguel Arcangel was founded on July 25, 1797 by Father-President Fermin Lasuen as the 16th of 21 missions along the Camino Real (King's Road) that went from San Diego to San Francisco. Built in the most commonly used quadrangle formation, Mission San Miguel has had three churches built on site. The first was the typical and temporary church (and housing) built of wood (mostly braches with a thatched roof). In 1798, a small adobe chapel was built. The current adobe church was built from 1816-1819 which also included the kiln-dried clay red roof tiles. The fired roof tiles greatly protected the sun-dried adobe bricks that were used to construct the walls that could easily be damaged by water/rain. Mission San Miguel is considered to be the most accurate and complete representation of all the CA missions. Unique here are the original untouched frescoes on the chapel's walls that were painted by the Salinan Native Americans. The original walkway arches still stand also.
