If you're planning your next vacation or vacation, San Diego religious landmarks should be on top of your list of destinations. San Diego is free-flowing with religious landmarks of all interests. But remember that in-between the visits to these fascinating sites, the sun is abundant and the beaches are divine. Let us take a brief look at some of the religious sites in San Diego.
Mission San Diego
This National Historic Landmark was California's first Mission, which are the Catholic churches found throughout California . It is known as the Mother of the Missions, as there were around twenty Missions built in the territory. The Mission Diego de Alcala, as it was formally named, was built in 1769 by the Blessed Junipero Serra. The Mission Diego de Alcal marks the birthplace of Christianity in the West and presently is an active cultural and religious center for people of all faiths.
Adobe Chapel Museum
John Brown built the Adobe Chapel Museum in 1850. It was converted into a parish in 1858 by Don Jose Aguirre. The Chapel had been demolished in the 1930s, but was built again and now showcases some of the first artifacts like pews, altars and marble architecture. Jose Aguirre's tomb has been in-laid into the floor of the Chapel.
Congregation Beth Israel
Established in 1861, this Synagogue has been the historic center of Jewish life in San Diego. It consists of three different Synagogues; 3rd and Laurel, Heritage Park and City Centre Drive.
Omar Mosque
A gathering place for the Muslim community. It is thought to be more than a place of worship, but also a place to take the sensation of society to new levels. They also celebrate a few festivals through the year, which the entire San Diego community is welcome to participate in.
Mount Soledad
A well know landmark, over 800 feet high, is visited by many holiday makers for its beautiful sunsets and panoramic view of the area. It is topped off by a 43 foot tall cross, which has been a point of contention in San Diego for a number of years. The cross is known as the Eastern Cross, which is surrounded by a war memorial. Easter Services are held there every year.
Museum of Creation and Earth History
The museum fills 4,000 sq feet of the Institute for Creation Research. The series of rooms and artifacts chronicle events and science from the start of creation to present times. Biblical rationalization of things, as well as Evolutionary hypotheses are all brought to light in the Dueling Viewpoints Walls.
