Saints Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church is right next to MiraCosta College's San Elijo campus on Manchester Avenue. The striking white building with giant golden dome was built in 1989. During the day the sun creates an image of the cross on the dome that was not intended by architects, considered by some to be a miracle. The church began in 1979 in a school in Solana Beach and has continued to grow after moving to Cardiff. The church is also serves as a community center for the Greek community of San Diego County, with youth groups and ministries, dance groups and a senior center.
