Mission San Carlos Borromeo del río Carmelo, also known as the Mission Carmel, is a Roman Catholic mission church in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and a U.S. National Historic Landmark. The mission was the headquarters of the Alta California missions headed by Saint Junípero Serra from 1770 until his death in 1784. Katherine was excited to see his name and a statue of him because his name is all over schools, parks and streets near our home.
The mission buildings had fallen into disrepair by the mid-19th century, but have since been restored and transferred to the local diocese to continued as a parish church. It is the only one of the California Missions to have its original bell tower dome.
