Carmel Mission chapel - Carmel CA
Description
The Carmel Mission chapel roof was rebuilt in 1936 by Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) craftsmen to enable the roof to be covered in clay tile. This was a correction to a restoration performed in 1882.
The full name of Carmel Mission is Mission San Carlos Borromeo del rio Carmelo. It was established by Father Junipero Serra and his Franciscans monks leading the Spanish settlement of Alta California. He is buried here. At the time of the beatification of Father Serra in 2015, there were many protests at the mission.
