Santa Barbara
A
El Presidio State Park
Founded April 21, 1782, the
Santa Barbara Royal Presidio was the
last in a chain of
four military
fortresses built
by the Spanish
along the coast
of Alta California, which was a wilderness frontier at the time.
B
Lobero Theater
California's oldest, continuously
operating theatre. It was originally
built in 1873 as an opera house, and
was rebuilt by architect George
Washington Smith for the Community Arts Music Association in the
early 1920s, and opened in August
1924. This was
the time period in
which
civic
groups in Santa
Barbara were beginning to unify the town's architectural look around a Spanish Colonial
style. The theatre continues to host
arts and cultural events on 250 or
more days per year.

D Santa Barbara Museum of Art
The museum opened to the public on June 5th, 1941, in a building
that was at one time the Santa Barbara Post Office.
The museum
contains 27,000
works of art.
Alice Keck Park
Memorial Gardens
This lush, green park is one of the
city's most beautiful spots. Welltended gardens and beautiful landscaping surround a man-made pond
with koi and turtles. One of the highlights of this park can be found as you
follow the walkway around specialized planting beds that feature lowwater
species. Each species
is chosen because
it grows well in
Santa Barbara with
minimum water.
E
Santa Barbara Museum
of Natural History
The oldest museum in Santa Barbara, founded in 1916 by William
Leon Dawson. The first buildings
constructed at the current site happened in 1922.
F
Santa Barbara Mission
The tenth of twenty-one California Missions to be founded by the
Spanish Franciscans. It was established on the Feast of St. Barbara on
December 4, 1786. Today the Mission is still very much alive and continues to be the chief cultural and
historic landmark in Santa Barbara.
The Mission’s commanding position
and grand proportions reinforce her title,
"Queen of the
Missions."
Paseo Neuvo
Here you'll discover a picturesque world of
Spanish-style
courtyards,
winding paseos,
gently flowing
fountains and
lush tropical flowers. Paseo Nuevo
includes Nordstrom, Macy's, and
more than 50 specialty shops. A
unique selection of fine restaurants,
art galleries and theaters await you, as
well as a wide variety of the places
you need to run everyday errands.
Santa Barbara Courthouse
H Designed by William Mooser III,
the Spanish-Moorish style building
was completed in 1929. Visitors can
ride an elevator to the 85-foot "El
Mirador" clock tower for unforgettable views of the
city, coast and
mountains.
Other attractions in the
courthouse include the Mural Room, "Spirit of the
Ocean" fountain, noteworthy architecture and ornate tile work throughout the building. It is now an official
National Historic Landmark.
Santa Barbara Train Station
The train station is served daily
by two Amtrak lines, the Coast Starlight and the Pacific Surfliner. They
travel to and from Los Angeles, Oregon, Washington, San Diego and San
Luis Obispo. The station is fully
staffed, with ticketing, checked baggage and package express services.
The station was built in 1902 by the
Southern Pacific Railroad in the Spanish Mission Revival
Style. The Train
Station underwent a
rehabilitation and
reconstruction project, which was finished in 2000.

Moreton Bay Fig Tree
This tree is believed to be the
largest Ficus macrophylla in the
country. The
Moreton Bay
fig tree came to
Santa Barbara
via ship from
the Moreton
Bay region of eastern Australia.
Originally planted between State and
Montecito Streets, the tree was transplanted, by Hannah Crabb and her
daughter Adeline, when it was "as
tall as a walking stick".
K
The Dolphin Fountain
At the base of State Street this
fountain, entitled
Dolphin Family,
marks the entrance
to Stearns Wharf.

J
Stearns Wharf
California's oldest working
wharf, Stearns Wharf is an important
part of Santa Barbara’s character and
history. It was built in 1872 to serve
cargo and passenger ships. In the
1930s, gamblers boarded floating
casinos at the pier, and during World
War II it was turned into a naval installation. Today, with a myriad of
shopping, dining and dramatic views,
the wharf is visited by 5 million people a year, making
it one of Santa
Barbara's largest
tourist attractions.
