Distance: ~2.13 mi from The Fairmont San Francisco

Description: Intended as a temporary exhibit for the Panama Pacific Exposition of 1915, this elegant structure has proven to be one of San Francisco's most famous landmarks. It was saved soon after the expo, although its impermanent construction didn't hold up well over the next decades. In the 1960s, the structure was recreated in cast concrete from molds of the original, and the beautiful rotunda and peristyle were preserved. Performances, concerts, and lectures are now hosted at the site, located at Baker and Beach Streets.
