San Diego Architecture Gallery

Sunny San Diego has a spectacular skyline, best viewed by boat from the Bay. As you glide along the waterfront, older and lower buildings give way to glittering glass condos and hotels. Across town, Balboa Park houses not only the world famous zoo, but a fabulous collection of Spanish Renaissance buildings constructed for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition. In 1935, a second World’s Fair was held during the depression to boost the local economy, and saw the construction of The Old Globe theater, as well as several art deco and art moderne buildings. Although architecture may not be what draws people to San Diego, there are plenty of great buildings to see while you are there.
