Old Mission Courtyard


Mission courtyard in Carmel.
There were a series of missions built in California within one day's travel of each other.
The road to connect them was the El Camino Real.
They were settled in the late 1700s to convert the Native Americans to Christianity.
The beautiful old building still remain, mostly as museums.
The architecture and design is just beautiful, surrounded by the majestic mountains.
