history, you have to check out the
Tech Museum of Innovation. The ar-
chitecture, with its signature blue
dome, is innovative in itself. Journey
inside for hands-on learning experi-
ences, like the Social Robots gallery,

exhibits and learn about physics, ge- Architecture fascinates us all, but
churches happen to take our breath
away when it comes to attention to
detail. Visit the Cathedral Basilica of
St. Joseph, which is located right in
the heart of downtown San Jose. The
Cathedral Basilica of St. Joseph is a
Roman Catholic church that was re-
built in the late 1800s, after the origi-
nal adobe structure was damaged by
earthquakes and several other re-
builds were destroyed by fires. In
1985, the church was finally elevated
to a cathedral, and the complete ren-
ovation and restoration was finished
by 1990. By 1997, Pope John Paul II
made the church into a minor basil-
ica, which granted the church certain
special privileges. Visit the church for
views of amazing sculptures, artwork,
and overall architecture.
