San Xavier has a white, Moorish-inspired design, elegant and simple, with an ornately decorated entrance. There are no records of the architect, builders, craftsmen or artisans responsible for creating and decorating it are known. It is assumed that most of the labor was provided by the local Indians, and many believe they provided most or all of the artisans as well. Visitors entering the massive, carved mesquite-wood doors of San Xavier are often struck by the coolness of the interior, and the dazzling colors of the paintings, carvings, frescoes and statues. The interior is richly decorated with ornaments showing a mixture of New Spain and Native American artistic motifs.
