I visit this peaceful and historic church each time I visit Monterey. Before the pandemic this church was always open and I would drop by and light a candle and say a prayer. I did not give it 5 stars because I would occasionally run into tourists and their tour guides walking inside the church which is distracting to people like myself praying and meditating.

This Cathedral was a treat to visit. It reminded me of European travels. It is amazing to have something of such age and significance in the United States. I'm grateful that it has been preserved in the Monterey Community. There are several benches outside and beautiful statues.
