San Francisco: Presidio & Pacific Heights


San Francisco: Presidio & Pacific Heights (Français)
At the heart of this districts is the Palace of Fine Arts, originally built in 1915 for the Panama Pacific International Exposition, whose reflection on an adjacent water surface add to the grandeur and romanticism of the site. Surrounding areas abound with very steep slopes, forming a rather funny angle with houses.
