Cathedral of San Carlos Borromeo

The Cathedral of San Carlos Borromeo, also called the Royal Presidio Chapel, was built of local sandstone in 1791–94 as the chapel of Monterey's Spanish presidio. It is the oldest stone building in California and the only surviving structure of the original presidio. It still serves as a parish church and as the cathedral of the Diocese of Monterey.
