The ruins were quite prominent when I was a boy, but they've been completely destroyed and covered over by the building. Several artifacts were unearthed when the excavations were made. The mission had been called first Santa Cruz and later Santa Rita." He further indicated that this mission was used only a short time, then abandoned, with its converts moved to Todos Santos where a new mission assumed its name of El Pilar; The present church at La Paz is a very large and impressive structure, built in 1858) page 158 (Nuestra Señora del Pilar)

found: Discoverbaja.com, Sept. 8, 2017(Nuestra Señora del Pilar de la Paz (1720-1748 at Airapí); The seventh California mission was founded by two Jesuit padres: Jaime Bravo and Juan de Ugarte. The site was near the shore of La Paz Bay and locally known as Airapí; In 1748, the mission was moved to Todos Santos, replacing the younger Santa Rosa mission already there. Officially the mission name remained Nuestra Señora del Pilar de la Paz, but it was nearly always called Todos Santos after the move; No remains of the original Pilar de la Paz mission at La Paz Bay are known to exist, however a plaque on a La Paz city side street marks a possible location. The modern church in La Paz is sometimes called the mission site, but it is 3 blocks to the north and one block east from the plaque. Some local historians believe the mission was even a little further south where old sketches showed palms growing)
