GTR-DVD-1175 - The stone-built church of the Mission San Carlos Borroméo De Carmelo rises above the southern district of the picturesque and romantic coastal town of Carmel in the United States. The Carmel Mission was founded in 1771 when Father Juniperro Serra, from Mallorca in Spain, was responsible for the building of the first missionary stations in the United States. The Mission possesses one of the most important and beautiful collections of religious works of art in California. Today only a few of the former twenty-one missions are in good condition. They were all once located alongside California's six hundred kilometre King's Road and over the years Carmel's unique climate has transformed the Mission's gardens into an exotic paradise that contributes to the idyllic character of this religious complex. Right up to the present day the Carmel Mission has managed to retain several pages of American history that would otherwise have been lost forever.
