Description: The Carmel Mission Basilica Museum, located in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, is a historic and cultural treasure that offers visitors a glimpse into the rich heritage of the region. Founded in 1771 by Saint Junípero Serra, the mission is one of the most authentically restored of the 21 California missions and serves as both an active parish and a museum. The museum houses a diverse collection of artifacts, including religious art, manuscripts, and tools from the mission era, providing insight into the daily lives of the Native American converts and Spanish settlers. The basilica itself, with its stunning architecture and serene gardens, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Franciscan missionaries and their impact on California's history.
