San Francisco

A piece of Rome in San Francisco🏛

One of the most beautiful architectural places in San Francisco. The Palace of Fine Arts is

located on Baker Street near Presidio. Just two miles from Fisherman's Wharf. It’s free to the

public and has a unique look as it feels like you are walking through Roman Architecture 🏛😍

Its Roman & Greek-style colonnades and soaring central rotunda make it one of the most singular and recognizable features of San Francisco's northern skyline. Up close, the scale of the structure is truly breathtaking.

The Palace is the only remaining structure from 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, a historic World's Fair-style event that put San Francisco back on the map as a major global city after the devastation of the 1906 earthquake and fire.

The entire Marina neighborhood might never have existed if it weren't for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Urban engineers created the 635-acre site from the mud flats at the bay's edge.

The Palace of Fine Arts has been a set piece for several films, from 1958's The View to 2004's Twisted. It has also been said that the Palace was George Lucas's inspiration for the design of Queen Amidala's royal residence in Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

Add the Palace of fine arts to your list when visiting San Francisco. If you go for sunrise

you can have the whole place to yourself, it gets crowded later in the day 😀
