Palace of Fine Arts Walking Tour | San Francisco | Marina District

Описание: Here's a walking tour of the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, California. I love visiting this site for its majestic architecture and pleasant environment of the water, trees, birds, and beautiful houses.


The Palace of Fine Arts is located in the Marina District of San Francisco and is a monumental structure originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in order to exhibit works of art. Completely rebuilt from 1964 to 1974, it is the only structure from the Exposition that survives on site.


The most prominent building of the complex, a 162 feet (49 m) high open rotunda, is enclosed by a lagoon on one side and is neighboring a large, curved exhibition center on the other side, which is separated from the lagoon by colonnades. As of 2019, the exhibition center (one of San Francisco's largest single-story buildings) was being used as a venue for events such as weddings or trade fairs.


Conceived to evoke a decaying ruin of ancient Rome, the Palace of Fine Arts became one of San Francisco's most recognizable landmarks. A renovation of the lagoon, walkways, and a seismic retrofit were completed in early 2009.
