Monterey is home to California’s oldest church, the Royal Presidio Chapel, built in 1770. Monterey’s Catholic Cemetery or "Campo Santo" (Holy Ground) is not quite as old as the church but still it has been here for 170 years and this cross is the center part of it.

If you want to see some really old crosses, check out Portola’s Cross (1769) and the Grave of Alexo Nino (1770).

Please take a photo of the cross on your visit.
