Santa Fe Plaza - the key stone of San Francis Cathedual

The key stone inscribed with hebrew. A local told me that San Francis Cathedual was in part funded by a jewish merchant when it was built. The only thing that the merchant asked for in return was the key stone above the entrance gate. Located on the center key stone within the triangle, the hebrew words inscribed there refered to something in the nature of under one God or one creator. I thought it was quite interesting and hence captured this close up picture.

Miracle Stairs
There is no center pole or supports for the miracle stairs. The whole stair case was standing puring based on balance. It was a design and engineering miracle at the time.
