Mission San Carlos Borroméo del río Carmelo, also known as the Carmel Mission or Mission Carmel, is a Roman Catholic mission church in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and a U.S. National Historic Landmark. The mission was the headquarters of the Alta California missions headed by Father Junípero Serra from 1770 until his death in 1784. It was also the seat of the second presidente, Father Fermin Francisco de Lasuen. The mission buildings had fallen into disrepair by the mid-19th century, but were restored beginning in 1884.[13][14] It remains a parish church today. History[edit] Carmel is the mission's second location. "Mission Carmel", as it came to be known, was Serra's favorite[citation needed] and, being close to Alta California's capital of Monterey served as his headquarters.
