- Note
- La Iglesia Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles (sometimes called the Placita, Old Plaza Church, or Old Mission Church) was first founded in 1814, but was destroyed by flooding before its completion. The construction site was moved slightly, and the completed structure was dedicated on December 8, 1822. It is the oldest church in the city of Los Angeles, and for years the little chapel, which collected the nicknames "La Placita" and "Plaza Church," served as the sole Roman Catholic church in Los Angeles.
