One of the mostly recommended places to visit when you're in San Francisco is the Palace of Fine Arts in the marina district of San Francisco, California. It is specifically located on Baker St., at the eastern edge of the Presidio and at least 2.5 miles west of Fisherman's Wharf and 3 miles northwest of Union Square. It has a tranquil lagoon filled with variety of birds and even turtles.
It was originally erected for the Panama Pacific Exposition in 1915 for the purpose of artwork exhibits.
The palace is only one of the few surviving structures from the Exposition when the original palace was demolished in 1964.
One of the main reasons why it became one of the tourist's main attraction is its Greek-architectural style colonnades with soaring central rotunda which became as its most recognizable features, and mostly easily seen from San Francisco's northern skyline.
The place is even famous for wedding events and other special gatherings, so don't be surprised if there are ones you see while you're visiting. 😊
Also, another interesting thing to note is that the Palace of the Fine Arts has been locations of movie shoots from the year 1950's and later.
Up to this day, the palace has been San Francisco's favorite landmark to love! No wonder, it's got breath taking views you'll ever cherish after your visit.
