Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission Nuestra Seņora de Guadalupe de El Paso del Norte y los Mansos, was the first mission established in the area. The present structure was completed in 1668. A joint effort of Mexican, Mansos Indian, and Spanish labor, the church took six years to build. Today it remains the oldest surviving church structure in the area. Next door, is the Juarez Cathedral with its Neo-classical facade. There is a large iron fence around the two churches with an open gate on the south side. Near this gate, one can often find the mission's self-appointed tour guide, Angel. Angel is an old man with salt and pepper hair, usually in a gray suit and matching fedora, who patiently waits to give tours of both churches.
