The statue outside is of Junipero Serra, a Spanish Catholic priest and missionary of the Franciscan Order. He is credited with establishing the Franciscan Missions in the Sierra Gorda, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. He founded a mission in Baja California and established eight [6] of the 21 Spanish missions in California from San Diego to San Francisco, in what was then Spanish-occupied Alta California in the Province of Las Californias, New Spain.
Inside the basilica is the tomb of Ramón Llull, a philosopher, theologian, poet, missionary, Christian apologist and former knight from the Kingdom of Majorca.
