Description
The Campanario, or the bell tower, of Mission San Diego houses five bells in its niches. (this image only shows the top three) The bells of a mission served many important purposes. First, they called the residents of the mission to work and to prayer. They were rung at mealtimes. They announced births or deaths. They also served as a signal for approaching ships, and were used to announce returning missionaries.
