Description
Hearst Castle, a hilltop mansion built by William Randolph Hearst, is located along the beautiful Central Coast of California in the tiny town of San Simeon. The infamous newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst with the aid of San Francisco architect Julia Morgan began construction of his dream mansion in 1919, a project that would continue for the next 30 years. Hearst named the property “La Cuesta Encantada” (Spanish for “The Enchanted Hill”). The architecturally eclectic property, now known as Hearst Castle, had a private airfield, two giant swimming pools, a movie theater, tennis courts, over 100 acres of gardens, two greenhouses, and the world’s largest private zoo. Hearst Castle is now a National Historic Landmark and California Historical Landmark that offers tours to the public. In this image, a pathway leads through the Hearst gardens to a small bungalow in the background. As the castle is located on top of a hill it can frequently be shrouded in fog and mist.
