About Hearst Castle:​

Hearst Castle overlooks the village of San Simeon & was built in 1919. The complex includes a twin-towered main building, three sumptuous guesthouses, and 127 acres of terraced gardens, fountains, and pools.​

The fanciful Gothic Study is the centerpiece of Hearst's private suite on the third floor of "Casa Grande" - the main building of the hilltop estate at San Simeon. The concrete arches were decorated by Camille Solon in 1934-35, but the historic Spanish ceiling dates from the early 1400s.​

The world-famous outdoor swimming pool at Hearst Castle was refilled in August 2018 after two years of restoration and repair. With water that refracts light to create a brilliant turquoise hue, the Neptune Pool is a photographer’s delight.
