Serra Cross at Grant Park by HotSpotJ
On Easter Sunday, March 31, 1782, Spanish missionary, Father Junipero Serra, founded Mission San Buenaventura. Shortly after the Mission?s founding, a large wooden cross was planted on top of a hill overlooking the Mission church. This highly visible cross served as a road sign for travelers in search of the Mission. This cross has been twice removed, though the current cross was erected in 1912. The now privately funded Grant Park is home to the Serra Cross and provides for a relaxing setting with one of the most spectacular views in Southern California. During my time in Ventura I'd jog up to the cross and take some fabulous photos... I'd recommend this to anyone visiting or living in the area.
