After two entries about Christian buildings, today we are looking at the host city of the Appleian Cathedral: Cupertino with the
world headquarters of Apple. However, this isn’t enough to reach out for a UNESCO World Heritage status ;-) Cupertino is a city in
Santa Clara County, California, United States, directly west of
San Jose on the western edge of the
Santa Clara Valley with portions extending into the foothills of the
Santa Cruz Mountains. Cupertino is located at the southern end of the
San Francisco Bay. The eastern part of the city, located in the
Santa Clara Valley, is flat, while the western part of the city slopes into the
Santa Cruz Mountains. Cupertino borders
San Jose and
Santa Clara to the east,
Saratoga to the south,
Sunnyvale and
Los Altos to the north, and
Loyola to the northwest. Several streams run through Cupertino on their way to south
San Francisco Bay, including (from north to south):
Permanente Creek,
Stevens Creek,
San Tomas Aquino Creek and its
Smith Creek, the Regnart Creek and Prospect Creek tributaries of
Calabazas Creek, and
Saratoga Creek.
