This cross is a monument to Father Junípero Serra and the first Spanish colonists to the region. It is located on the grounds just below the Junípero Serra Museum. The Serra Cross (also known as Padre Cross) is one of San Diego’s most prominent landmarks. It was built in 1913 with tiles excavated from the original Presidio and mission.

The Junípero Serra Museum and the Serra Cross is an area I visited many times during my youth. It is an historical landmark I visited during a school field trip. It is also an area where my church youth group would hold activities at Presidio Park (as it was referred to way back when. The mission and the Cross maintains a significant part in my heart and memories.

I am an avid reader. I read mostly Amish fiction but also read other novels. I enjoy romance, mystery, and Christian devotionals. I enjoy hiking in the outdoors, especially in Greenways and State or National Parks. I love my grandson. He is my favorite subject, so I'll post about him and his antics.
