Original fresco paintings derived from local pigments can still be seen in the church interior of Old Mission San Miguel. These frescos were completed in 1824 by Spanish artist Esteban Munras with the help of local Indians. For more information about the historic Mission San Miguel visit missionsanmiguel.org.

After being closed to the public for nearly six years following the San Simeon quake, the church building was reopened in 2009 upon completion of a multi-million-dollar retrofit project. Although the church has been successfully repaired, large portions of the buildings forming the mission quadrangle have yet to undergo seismic retrofitting.
