La Paz, Mexico
Misión de Nuestra Señora del Pilar de La Paz Airapí
Mission La Paz was established by the Jesuit missionaries Juan de Ugarte and Jaime Bravo in 1720 and financed by the marquis José de la Puente, at the location of the modern city of La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico. La Paz was the location of the earliest Spanish activity in Baja California, and was frequently the site of conflicts between the Spanish and the local Guaycura and Pericú Indians. Fortún Ximénez, mutineer on an expedition sent by Hernán Cortés, landed at La Paz in 1533.
