Mission San Jos&eacute; del Cabo<br />
<br />
The Jesuit Nicolas Tamaral established the Mission of San Jose del Cabo at the Peric&uacute; settlement of A&ntilde;uit&iacute; in 1730.  But in the summer of 1734 Tamaral, who the Pericu shamans felt was overly impinging upon their long-standing luxury of having several wives, was martyred in cruel fashion and the mission was destroyed.  Today the mosaic above the fa&ccedil;ade depicts the fateful day.  The mission was finally closed in 1840.  <br />
Set directly on the wonderful town square the Mission of San Jose del Cabo Anuit&iacute; is not only an important historic place, but also a place where the community still celebrates its faith and fullness of life with passion indicative of its colorful history.
