| Palace of Fine Art Theatre |
The Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina Districtof San Francisco, California, is a monumental structure originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in order to exhibit works of art presented there. One of only a few surviving structures from the Exposition, it is still situated on its original site. It was rebuilt in 1965, and renovation of the lagoon, walkways, and a seismic retrofit were completed in early 2009.Its beautiful place, make sure to take some pictures! It's especially stunning in the late afternoon when the sun is out. They host events and shows sometimes (right now there is an art, music and tech event called ifsowhat which we found amazing), these are also worth checking out. One of the must place to see in San Francisco. Beautiful lake, gorgeous architect design, ducks in lake, huge pillars. It is photographer's paradise. Evening is beautiful here with orange sky colors , As a tourist I loved this place. It's really peaceful and pretty, also surrounded by an Italian neighborhood
Really beautiful location created during the world fair in 1915 as part of bringing a little bit of classic Rome to America. Open and free to the public to walk around and explore, This is a very picturesque area with beautiful manicured gardens amidst towering columns. This place was in ruins before but the city has done a wonderful job of restoring the whole area and maintaining it. There's a man made lake that usually has some wild life such as ducks and other birds. Around the area, there are information boards that tell the history of the palace of fine arts. but too bad so many people are so much not respectful and not educated, and climb on the walls to just take a picture. Come on, open your eyes and watch the beauty around, stop trashing that place.
Beauty and energy that heals- go ahead and stand right under the dome- visualize your best life if money were no object- thank the universe for every great blessing you have and clear your perspective- shift to love for every person and thing and see it all around you. Not one brick of that beautiful structure came to be real until somebody INTENDED IT. They imagined and worked on a vision that became a reality and that is the world around you- so let that pass through your infinite mind while staring straight up at the dome and the guardians looking down on you. Man have I been blessed to have this place in my back yard. Beautiful architecture, landscapes, and ecosystems
It is a nice area to stroll around and take pictures. Bring your family/friends that’s not from around here to this place. I especially like coming here when it’s almost sunset. Pretty view! The Palace of Fine Arts is a magical place. There is a big lake hosting many birds, and other animals, the gardens are beautiful and the construction impressive. A place to visit, enjoy!! #LetsGuide love(:
What a beautiful place it is!! Nice to walk around. Beautiful water body around the palace of fine arts. Its a photographer's paradise. Saw three married couples getting photo shoot done. There were many elderly couple sitting opposite to the palace (in front of water body)....it was peaceful. Not branding it as old people's place but putting the point across that the place is so peaceful that you will see lot of elderly couples adoring the beauty. This place also gets lot of birds, so again if you are a birder, you will love visiting here.
Another good thing - free parking across the street on Yacht road. Gents toilets near the doors of hall was clean whereas ladies toilet, as per my wife, was just awful. She and my daughter refused to use it. They went inside the hall and used the rest room which is very close to the cafe.vshe told that ladies toilet was spotlessly clean.
Wonderful place full of amazing history and beautiful sightseeing. It is a nice place to spend the afternoon and get a little of the nostalgic feeling of the old San Francisco. If you have time definitely go to the palace and stroll around. I loved it
Incredible and unexpected urban setting. This fictional ruin with lovely gardens is originally from the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition and is one of the most photogenic places to visit in the city. Nice spot for a picnic as well. Huge Roman like architecture. It seems that people come here to get their wedding pictures taken. The size is impressive but a little boring to be honest.
