## Visit San Carlos Cathedral

Activities

---

---

#### Admire ecclesiastical relics on display in the heritage centre to learn about this cathedral, which is California’s oldest stone building.

The Cathedral of San Carlos Borromeo is a charming spiritual home dating back to 1794\. As the oldest continually operating parish in California, it is considered among the state’s most important historic structures. Admire the Spanish-colonial style of the building, which plays an important role in the Latino community.

The elegant off-white façade, with its brown wooden portal and bell tower, blends Spanish-colonial styles with Moorish features. Gaze up at the carving of Our Lady of Guadalupe that decorates the niche. It is said to be the oldest non-indigenous sculpture in California.

Enter the intriguing church to see its ornate interior. Listen to Masses and sermons recited in English and Spanish to serve the city’s Catholic community. The nave has an airy feel, with light permeating through its many windows and illuminating oil paintings of the *Stations of the Cross*.

The parish offices inside the building contain the Heritage Centre Museum, which has highlights including artistic portrayals of the church. Look for remnants of the Vizcaíno-Serra oak tree that stood in the area when Monterey was founded in the early 1600s. Take a guided tour and speak with docents to find out about the museum, the church and its grounds.

Surrounding the chapel is a garden containing a serene path that leads to the complex’s San Carlos School and the Rectory of San Carlos Cathedral. Follow the trail to the San Carlos Cemetery to see its range of headstones and sculptures in the midst of giant oak trees.

Note that Masses take place daily, including on weekends. The museum is closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The church, which accepts donations, is also known by locals as the Royal Presidio Chapel.

The Cathedral of San Carlos Borromeo is in the central part of Monterey. Ride a bus to a nearby stop or walk from other attractions in the downtown area. The street outside the church has many parking spaces. Visit nearby landmarks, such as the Dennis the Menace Park, Lake El Estero and Jacks Park.

7.6/10 Good! (550 reviews)

You get what you paid for. This place is not dirty but it is outdated. The walls are very thin so you could hear people talking and a dog barking. If you’re a light sleeper this place might not be a good place to stay at. The bed was very rough very hard. Other than that it was a decent place. Close to the city close to the freeway. I felt safe here the whole time so it does have its pros.
