Terribilis est locus iste: hic domus Dei est, et porta coeli; et vocabitur aula Dei. ["Awesome is this place: it is the house of God, and the gate of Heaven; and it shall be called the court of God."]”

The site of Mission San Carlos Borromeo evolved through the construction of seven churches, five of which were oriented to the summer solstice sunrise event. Fray Serra’s personal bible incorporates depictions of the Heavenly Kingdom.

El Presidio Real de San Carlos de Monterey

The carved stone façade of the Royal Presidio Chapel or San Carlos Cathedral has been designated a registered National Historic Landmark.

Recent archaeological investigations at the Royal Presidio Chapel serve to confirm that Jose Cardero’s 1791 illustration was accurate and well proportioned. This and related facts lend credence to the likelihood that Cardero employed a Camera Lucida to produce his images. Image courtesy of the Archives of the Diocese of Monterey.

On July 23rd of 2008 the RPC Project Manager informed me via cell phone that contractors had inadvertently exposed boulders at the forefront of the Chapel while removing brick pavers. My crew and I immediately implemented measures to fully document the find and mitigate further damage to what I believed to constitute remains of the as yet unexplored 2nd Chapel.
![Page 43: Building and Builders in Hispanic California, 1769-1848 by Dr. Rubén G. Mendoza, PhD](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110121/558e2a861a28ab27048b4627/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
By the end of the first day of exploratory exposures of the foundation footings of the 2nd Chapel, a granite and basalt boulder pavement overlain with Roman Mortar – consisting of a lime, gravel, and sand floor composite – was identified. By the third day, the discovery became a front page media story.
![Page 44: Building and Builders in Hispanic California, 1769-1848 by Dr. Rubén G. Mendoza, PhD](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110121/558e2a861a28ab27048b4627/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The granite and blue basalt boulder pavement constituting the substrate of the 2nd Chapel floor included non-native stone that may have been culled from a ship’s ballast stones. The bronze higa (lower right) was recovered from the southeast corner of the pavement so noted.
![Page 45: Building and Builders in Hispanic California, 1769-1848 by Dr. Rubén G. Mendoza, PhD](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110121/558e2a861a28ab27048b4627/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

The excavation of the sanctuary area of the 2nd Chapel was conducted under a compliance archaeology mandate, and salvage effort, intended to document and mitigate damage to the structure in question. Contractors ultimately opted to avoid grading away the Chapel footings.
![Page 47: Building and Builders in Hispanic California, 1769-1848 by Dr. Rubén G. Mendoza, PhD](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110121/558e2a861a28ab27048b4627/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Upon mapping the crypt’s location within the overall plan of the Royal Presidio Chapel, it soon became apparent that pre-1858 construction of said crypt required excavation through the Terrace 1 feature located beneath the north walls of the east and west arms of the Transept .

Media coverage, including the expert commentaries by Center for Spanish Colonial Archaeology archaeologist Jack Williams, narrowly averted the potential destruction of the 2nd Chapel of 1771-72.
![Page 52: Building and Builders in Hispanic California, 1769-1848 by Dr. Rubén G. Mendoza, PhD](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110121/558e2a861a28ab27048b4627/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
In addition to determining that the Sacristy was constructed of adobe blocks composed from dark trash midden clays, the exterior facing of the nave (or Sacristy east interior wall face)at this location was composed of a dark lime-mud mixture.
Both subsurface and vertical archaeology findings went far in the interpretation of the 1810-11 Sacristy. The ridge-pole of the Sacristy was anchored to the west exterior face of the Chapel nave.
![Page 53: Building and Builders in Hispanic California, 1769-1848 by Dr. Rubén G. Mendoza, PhD](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110121/558e2a861a28ab27048b4627/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

In order to access the crypt it was first necessary to circumvent the decrepit wooden ladder left behind during the 1942 retrofit. Though I offered CSU Monterey Bay student Adrian Lopez the opportunity to enter the crypt before me, his startled response was: “No, you go first!” Note boveda or barrel vault to far left. Sealed wall to right of ladder is thought to have been original entry to crypt.
![Page 56: Building and Builders in Hispanic California, 1769-1848 by Dr. Rubén G. Mendoza, PhD](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110121/558e2a861a28ab27048b4627/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Upon entering the crypt, eight chambers – seven replete with burials -- came into view at the north wall. Ominously, the crypt to the far right remains available for yet another occupant.
![Page 57: Building and Builders in Hispanic California, 1769-1848 by Dr. Rubén G. Mendoza, PhD](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110121/558e2a861a28ab27048b4627/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
This research has determined that the crypt was constructed some time prior to the 1858 Transept retrofit. A vault or boveda permitted the enclosure of the pre-existing chamber.

Because the RPC Project team sought information on whether or not the crypt floor was intact, or whether mud intrusion had filled what constituted the original floor, an archaeological assessment was undertaken. Within ten centimeters of the surface, the project identified the shale bedrock flooring of the chamber and its artifacts.

On January 25th of 2009, the Royal Presidio Chapel was re-dedicated and opened to the public…in a ceremony held on the 214th anniversary of the original dedication of this most historic chapel in Monterey.

On October 22nd of 2009, the centerpiece of the façade of the Royal Presidio Chapel was returned to its rightful place within the nicho after a 2.5 year conservation treatment.
