From yesterday's photo of the church of the Immaculate Conception in San Diego to the Carmel Mission, up the coast aways in Carmel. The missions in california are all tied to the work of the Franciscan friar, Junipero Serra, who was beatified in 1998 and canonized in 2015. The Mission Carmel marked the northern outpost of the Spanish in Californa. The Mission Carmel dates from 1771, Serra having relocated it from the original site in Monterey. This was Serra's base until his death in 1784. He is interred beneath the chapel floor. By 1883 the mission buildings were in ruins and serious restoration didn't start until the 1930s. Outside of the church itself, everything at the current day Mission Carmel dates from this restoration, including this covered walkway.
