Legacy
Mission San Francisco Solano, the northernmost mission along California's El Camino Real, was named in 1823 for Francis Solanus.
In Humahuaca, every day at precisely 12-noon, on the city-hall bell-tower, heavy copper doors slowly open and a life-size animated wooden, dramatic-looking statue of San Francisco Solano appears for about two minutes and gives his benediction to the silent crowd amassed on the village plaza.
