San Francisco is a beautiful City and a leading
financial/cultural center of Northern California in USA. San Francisco
is most densely settled large city in the state of California and the
second-most densely populated major city in the United States after New
York. San Francisco is the fourth most populous city in California,
after Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose.
San Francisco was founded in
1776, when colonists from Spain established a fort at the Golden Gate
and a mission named for St. Francis of Assisi a few miles away. San Francisco was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake
and fire.. But then it was quickly rebuilt, hosting the
Panama-Pacific International Exposition nine years later.

The structure links the beautiful city San Francisco to Marin County. It is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco, California, and the United States.

The Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina District of San Francisco, California, is a monumental structure which was originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in order to exhibit works of art presented there. One of only a few surviving structures from the Exposition, is the only one still situated on its original site. It was rebuilt in 1965, and renovation of the lagoon, walkways, and a seismic retrofit were completed in early 2009.
