tourist attraction · Monterey Old Fisherman's Wharf is a pier in Monterey Harbor, built in 1870 by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company and owned by the city since 1913. It served as a wholesale fish market into the 1960s and is now lined with seafood restaurants and shops. Whale-watching and fishing boats leave from it, and sea lions often rest on the pilings nearby.

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.
