Wayfarers Chapel
Constructed on a broad cliff with a steep face, the Wayfarers Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes enjoys a fantastic spot overlooking the lashing waves of the Pacific. It was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Jr., son of the more celebrated architect. Known locally as the "glass church," Wayfarers is a memorial to Emanuel Swedenborg, an 18th-century Swedish philosopher who claimed to have visions of spirits and heavenly hosts. The church is constructed of glass, redwood, and native stone. Rare plants, some of which are native to Israel, surround the building. The church is open daily 9am to 5pm. Call in advance to arrange a free escorted tour.
