Hearst Castle: Exterior

The Hearst Castle is one of the popular tourist destination in California. It was previously owned by the newspaper magnate, William Hearst. The castle is designed by Julia Morgan who was previously known as a pool designer. If you noticed, the outdoor pool is the best area in the property. Eventually, the design will be copied by the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.


Facade.


Front of the guest house.


These windows remind me of a monastery.

Is there a need for a bell tower?


Just plain magnificent.

The Caesars Palace pool imitation.
Maybe when Madzie gets bigger, we will go back and see the rest of the tour. San Simeon is a convenient stop if you are on a road trip in between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
