Beautifully preserved mission in Carmel featuring a beautiful garden with an elegant touch and a gallery
Here we are in the second mission established in California in June 1770. Beautifully preserved, it was erected as a basilica by Pope John XXIII. It has a beautiful garden filled with fragrant roses that gives the Harry Downie Museum (the name of the mission's conservator) an elegant touch. The Mora Chapel gallery houses the cenotaph of Junipero Serra, a Spanish Franciscan priest who founded several missions in California besides Carmel.

Arrivées là 45 mn avant la fermeture, la dame de l’accueil nous dit qu’une donation au musée suffit et qu’on ne doit pas s’acquitter des frais d’entrée. Le cadre de la mission fondée en 1770 Junipero Serra est très agréable mais il n'y a pas assez d'explications.

Site very pleasant to visit because it is very calm and good preserved. A haven of peace and authenticity in the heart of a chic but very artificial city.

Cet établissement est l'une des nombreuses missions encore existantes. Très beau patrimoine bien conservé et mis en valeur. Eglise magnifique. On peut imaginer la vie à l'époque, les souffrances des indiens soumlis à une colonisation de la part des "bons" missionnaires.
