| La Purísima Concepción de Nuestra Señora de Caborca |
The centerpiece of Pueblo
Viejo is the Kino mission
church La Purísima
Concepción de Nuestra
Señora de Caborca, first
completed in 1693. The
church has burned, been
damaged by floods and been
rebuilt over the years, but it
still retains its original charm.

Although the church is no longer active, services are still held
there Saturday evenings. A prominent sight in Caborca, it is
easily located, at the southern end of the street Seis de Abril.

| A local group is currently working to completely restore the temple by the time of its bicentennial in 2009. Check out their website at http://templohistoricodecaborca.org/cms/. |
The mission's walls still bear the marks from the
1857 defense of the town against American invaders
