The Roman Pool at Hearst Castle ! Details in description.

Описание: ✨ The Roman Pool at Hearst Castle ✨

Built in the 1930s, this indoor pool was inspired by Roman baths and the glittering mosaics of Ravenna, Italy.

Every surface sparkles with cobalt blue and gold glass tiles—some fused with real gold. Statues of Greek and Roman gods line the edges, making it feel more like a temple than a pool.

📍 Location: Hearst Castle, San Simeon, California
🏛 Architect: Julia Morgan, the first licensed female architect in California
🎨 Mosaics: Designed by artist Camille Solon
