Hearst Castle Detail, submitted by Joann W., California.
In 1919 publishing magnet Randolph Hearst began building what was to become one of the world’s most opulent showcases – Hearst Castle, located in San Simeon, California.
With its 165 rooms and 127 surrounding acres of landscaped gardens, terraces, pools and meandering walkways, along with a grand view from a hilltop that overlooks the sparkling Pacific Ocean, this estate is one-of-a-kind.
It is now both a National and a California Historical Landmark, and is maintained by the state of California as a state historic park.
Despite its location far from any urban center, the site attracts about one million visitors per year.
