A fantastically restored historic mission. Junipero Serra, founder of California’s original missions died and was buried here. His original coffin is on display, as well as his relics that he carried with him. The first college in California was founded here and has been restored. Historically accurate replica library is on display. The building had been in significant disrepair and approaching near complete collapse. The mission has been restored. It is a fully functional place of worship and museum today.

Ditto on all previous answers
10 bells total in 2 towers
Yes it's 10 or 20 dollars to get in though
It is quite picturesque. Not to mention interesting historically.
We spent 2 hours on the self guided tour but we read everything we could. There is a cost of about $9 to take the tour and it help with the upkeep. There is also a little chapel with either a mass or prayer service at 12:15pm during the week. So much history.
It's currently $9.50 for adults, $7 for seniors, and $5 for children 7 and up. Free for children 6 and under.
It's in Carmel (Carmel by the Sea), CA.
Timing is key. If the museum is not of interest, church only, Sunday prior to Mass might be good
Gift shop is open 9:30am - 5:00pm, museums start closing 4:40pm
I don't know what exactly Carmel did but most missions grew their own food and livestock. They often sold what they didn't need. Missions still do this sort of thing today. Carmel charges admission so I'm sure that helps with running it today. If you call them, I bet they'll tell you what you want to know.
Only one tower has bells
It's the burial place of a saint and the founding father of the California missions, St. Junipero Serra. It's also the second, of the 21 missions. It's well-preserved with dozens of unique period art pieces. It's an active parish. It's in an absolutely gorgeous location. Special in so many ways!
Everything was open, 2 weeks ago.
Open for public visit only, front garden is still under construction. They're close on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Usually not crowded
Not that I know about, there was a wedding to take place a couple of hours after we visited.
Yes, with an active church community, as well as a historical landmark.
Esselen and Ohlone Indians
It is free. It is a working parish so they have regular mass
Cost us $9 each Never stated as a donation, simply entrance fee
I believe they do.
1797, was the 2nd Mission built
Sorry, I didn't see your message.
Great question Ethan, on the grounds we most typically see different species of birds (primarily hummingbirds and California scrub jays) lizards and rabbits.
During colonial times they worked the lands of the mission to grow vegetables and fruits. Besides the monks operated a school as per today
It's still open. Call them for a schedule.
Sunday mass At Carmel Basilica museum is held at 7:30 a.m. 9:30 a.m. 11:30 a.m. 12:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.. Mass is also held on Saturday same schedule.
Mission San Carlos , also known as, Carmel Mission Basilica, is located in Carmel by the Sea.
Very clean and well kept. The garden is wonderful as is the gift shop! Sunday services are great too.
Yes
Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo is a Catholic parish, located in the city of Carmel-by-the-Sea in Monterey County, California, United States. It was the second mission founded by friar Junípero Serra in the territory of Alta California in 1771.
Not sure, but it wasn't as of December 30th.
It's also a church so avoid Sundays during church time
Father Junipero Serra commissioned the Building of the Carmel mission. It was the second of 9 missions built while he was alive. Tje reson the missions we're built is two fold. For one the Spanish govt. who owned California at the time,it was urgent to colonize Alta California before the Russians or the United States Govt. could lay claim to the territory. The other reason was to christianize the indigenus people of alta California. The site was selected be cause there was a better source of water than at the previous site at Monterey. Wood probably oak and adobe bricks were used as construction materials.
It would be nice for you to visit if you are doing a report on this mission. Father Junipero Serra is actually burried here in this church, right near the altar. There are many little museums here as well.
Father Junipero Serra, with local Native American labor. First, it was located in Monterey, but after first year Serra decided to move to the Carmel River ( Rio Carmelo ) where land was better for farming.
San Carlos is an active cathedral in city of Monterey
Saturday just passing by. Took pictures very nice mission church nice weather too.
On June 3, 1770, the missionaries led by St. Junipero Serra, erected the Holy cross at the site of Mission San Carlos Borromeo.
The Carmel-By-The-Sea mission is named after St. Charles Borromeo.
Masses are only in English. There are materials for self guided tours in Spanish. Masses are only in English. There are brochures for self-guided visits.
The Mission Ranch and Hotel which is very close to the Mission was purchased and restored by Clint Eastwood. Some nice views and there are sheep.
It depends on the holiday, it's hard to tell, best you call them
It was the second California mission constructed
There was a wedding in process.
