Palace of Fine Arts

San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts, a relic from the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition, stands as one of the few surviving structures from the World’s Fair. Nestled in the Bay Area, this Greco-Roman–inspired edifice features a picturesque rotunda and expansive grounds. Visitors can stroll under the grand dome, explore the lush surroundings, and observe the lagoons, which are home to an array of waterfowl including ducks, swans, and geese.
