Answer:
A Presidio was usually built next to a mission for protection.
Step-by-step explanation:
Presidio is the resultant of the Spanish word ‘Presidir’ which means to see or to preside. Presidio in Spanish means a fortified military Base under Spanish control.
The mission is a system formed by Spanish Priests and had three goals. They are to produce food crops and grow cattle, inhabit Spain and convert the local natives to Christianity.
From Spain, Presidios were built to safeguard the Missions from assaulting foreigners or from local native groups who are unhappy with the mission system.
