Palace of Fine Arts

Entertainment • San Francisco, California United States

Built in 1915, this palace is the only building that remained from the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition, despite being constructed solely for the duration of it.

The palace is now a frequent venue for wedding shoots and any photography-related events, thanks to its beautiful architecture reminding an ancient Roman ruin. Locals and tourists alike often come here to take a stroll and meditate, observing the garden that is nearby.

Apart from observing, you can also visit the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre, offering various performances.
