Las Flores Asistencia
From 1823 to the 1840s, the tile-roofed adobe chapel
and hostel at Las Flores, built by Father Antonio Peyrí,
served as the asistencia to Mission San Luís Rey and provided
comfort to travelers on El Camino Real. The adobe structure
and adjacent corral were the site of the April 1838 battle
between Juan Bautista Alvarado and Carlos Antonio Carrillo
contesting the provincial governorship of Alta California.
