    > The Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina District of San Francisco, California is a monumental structure originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in order to exhibit works of art. Completely rebuilt from 1964 to 1974,[1] it is one of only a few surviving structures from the Exposition.

    > The most prominent building of the complex, a 162 feet (49 m) high[1] open rotunda, is enclosed by a lagoon on one side, and is neighboring a large, curved exhibition center on the other side, which is separated from the lagoon by colonnades. As of 2019, the exhibition center (one of San Francisco’s largest single-story buildings) was being used as a venue for events such as weddings or trade fairs.[3]

    > Conceived to evoke a decaying ruin of ancient Rome,[1] the Palace of Fine Arts became one of San Francisco’s most recognizable landmarks.[4] A renovation of the lagoon, walkways, and a seismic retrofit were completed in early 2009.
