During the Mission Period, natives occupying lands near Mission San Luis Rey de Francia were referred to as Luiseños by the Spaniards.[1](PD) Drawing: Eugene Duflot de Mofras
In 1841, French explorer Eugene Duflot de Mofras produced a sketch of the Mission that depicted a second campanario, thereby supporting the theory that two bell towers were planned, but never completed; the lone tower was also used as a lookout post.[2](PD) Photo: Keystone-Mast Company

Mission San Luis Rey de Francia (seen here in 1986) is architecturally distinctive due to the combination of Spanish, Moorish, and Mexican lines exhibited.
