Ysleta Mission
The Ysleta Mission is one of the oldest missions in the El Paso area. The parish was established in 1682 and the mission completed in 1692. The Spanish originally named the church Misión de Corpus Christi de Ysleta del Sur. The original church was washed away by the Rio Grande and the new structure was built in 1744. The layout of the Ysleta Mission is an example of the New Mexican style of mission churches which were built during the 17th and 18th centuries, characterized by their linear, boxlike forms, with simplicity in their exterior decoration, and mainly built out of adobe. In 1907, the church was partially destroyed during a fire, but was reconstructed with the addition of a three-story tower incorporating traditional Spanish mission decorations.
