San Carlos Cathedral, Monterey, California, originally uploaded by laurenmi.

This is Monterey’s cathedral, The San Carlos Cathedral, also known as the Royal Presidio Chapel, California’s longest continually operating house of worship, founded in 1770.

An extensive restoration project is currently underway. The building you see here was completed in 1794. It looked like they were working on the bell tower the other day.
