A symbol of San Diego, the iconic California Tower has served as a magnificent entry to Balboa Park since its construction for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition. The majestic tower, home to beautiful bells that chime every quarter hour, soars 200 feet above the California Building, which houses the anthropology-oriented San Diego Museum of Man.
The California Building has been mentioned more often than any other San Diego building in studies of American architecture. Though the building's facade is impressive, the three-stage tower is iconic in San Diego. The outline of the tower is Spanish, but its details and color are reflective of Mexico. The shining tiles, sparkling glass beads, and graceful proportions of the tower complement the central dome, as well as the two minor domes behind the California Building.
