The tour begins by showing you stones or bricks used in the construction of the Museo de la Casa de Piedra in Loreto; those bricks were used in the construction of la Misión de Loreto. The casa de piedra, as its name indicates, is built with stones and bricks finely cut by the artisans of those times, with walls over 1 meter thick. Historians and descendants of the family recount that after part of the mission was destroyed a few decades ago, some stones remained in the courtyard of the house of a well-known mail carrier of those times; he kept them at his home until recently, and they are now exhibited at the Museo de la Casa de Piedra in Loreto.
