A PLACE OF WORSHIP, EDUCATION, HISTORY, AND ART
Immerse yourself in a world where faith, history, art, and culture come alive. The stunning Carmel Mission invites you to explore its storied grounds, journey into the past with a visit to our museums, and marvel at the extraordinary collection art and religious artifacts.
Two centuries ago, the Carmel Mission was in ruins. Thanks to the generosity of countless people, it rose from the ashes to become a symbol of hope, faith and community. Today, we are reminded it will take the continued generosity of countless more to ensure the mission's legacy continues for generations to come.
