Carmel-by-the-Sea World War I Memorial Arch, War memorial arch in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, US.

The Carmel-by-the-Sea World War I Memorial Arch is a sandstone structure built in Spanish Mission Revival style with a bronze bell housed at its center. The memorial stands in the median of a major downtown intersection, making it a focal point of the town.

Architect Charles Sumner Greene designed the arch in 1919, and its cornerstone was laid on November 11, 1921, during Carmel's first Armistice Day parade, with music by the 11th Cavalry Band. The arch was dedicated to the 56 Carmelites who served in World War I. For 44 years it held no bell; in 1966 Harry J. Downie donated a Spanish-style bell dated to 1692 for the city's 50th anniversary.

The arch honors those from the town who served during World War I, and the community marks the occasion with bell ringing at specific times of year. This site serves as a gathering place for remembering local military service.

The memorial sits on the center median of a busy intersection and is easily accessible on foot at any time of day. The location is open to the public, allowing visitors to stop by and view the structure whenever they choose.

The original bronze bell from 1966 was donated to mark the town's 50th anniversary, but is now preserved at the local library rather than in the arch itself. A replacement bell rings during the annual remembrance ceremonies held at this location.
