The Monterey Museum of Art, founded in 1959, shows California art from the 19th century to the present in eight galleries at 559 Pacific Street, across from Colton Hall in Old Monterey. Its collection covers painting, photography and sculpture, with a focus on early California painting and the artists of the Carmel art colony.
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.
Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo stands at the mouth of the Carmel River on the southern edge of Carmel-by-the-Sea, about 7 km south of Monterey. Founded in 1770 and moved here in 1771, it was the headquarters of the Alta California missions under Junípero Serra. Restored from 1931, it keeps its original bell tower and houses museums.
