Awesome!!! Once you get to the top, there are spectacular views of downtown Santa Barbara, the beautiful lawn and down to the ocean!! Well worth the hike up the tower.
Built in 1929, the Courthouse is a large, beautiful building, with many rooms, exciting murals, lots of fascinating architectural details, asymmetry, tiling, complexity, and stunning views.
