About San Rafael, CA

Serving as the seat of Marin County, San Rafael hugs the northern end of San Francisco Bay where it meets San Pablo Bay. Originally home to the Coast Miwok people, it was founded as a Spanish mission in 1817 before being incorporated as a city in 1874, following the American Conquest of California.

Things to do in San Rafael

One of the city’s most important architectural landmarks is the Mission San Rafael Archangel, which was founded as a hospital to treat Native Americans.

Nearby is the modern Parish Church, which features a large bronze sculpture of Saint Raphael.

A short walk away is Art Works Downtown, a not-for-profit arts centre that occupies one of San Rafael’s historic buildings.
