| 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Although the church is no longer active, services are still held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 coordinated a restoration of the temple for its bicentennial in 2009. Since then, a private benefactor has also donated a desert botanical garden on the temple grounds. Click here to see photos. |
The mission's walls still bear the marks from the
1857 defense of the town against American invaders
