Mission San Xavier del Bac. Bulit in 1785 lies in the Sonoran desert seven miles south of Tucson, Arizona. This mission is know as the White Dive of the Desert and is open to tourists at no charge. The east tower has been left unfinished beause it was Spanish law, in the 1700's, that upon compeleton of a mission taxes would have to be paid to Spain. If you ever travel to Arizona this is a must see place.
