St Junipero Serra Reverse Carmel Mission Color Medal Rosary Crucifix Vintage Rare Mission San Carlos and St. Junípero Serra Edit Carmel Mission , c. 1910Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo was founded on 3 June 1770 in the nearby settlement of Monterey , but was relocated to Carmel Valley by Junípero Serra due to interactions between soldiers stationed at the nearby Presidio and the native Indians. [14]In December 1771 the transfer was complete as the new stockade of approximately 130x200 became the new Mission Carmel. Simple buildings of plastered mud were the first church and dwellings until a more sturdy structure was built of wood from nearby pine and cypress trees to last through the seasonal rains. This, too, was only a temporary church until a permanent stone edifice was built. [14]In 1784 Serra, after one last tour of all the California missions , died and was buried, at his request, at the Mission in the Sanctuary of the San Carlos Church, next to Crespí, who had passed the previous year. Serra was buried with full military honors. [14]Carmel Mission has importance beyond the history of Serra, who is sometimes called the "Father of California". It also contains the state's first library. [1
