The Coit Tower



The Coit Tower looks down on the Telegraph Hill neighbourhood of San Francisco. The tower, in the city's Pioneer Park, was built in 1933 using Lillie Hitchcock Coit's bequest to beautify the city.





The fresco murals inside the tower were painted by 27 on-site artists and their numerous assistants.




















The view on the whole city from the top of the tower is well worth a trip.








Not too far out there, the Alcatraz.




And the Golden Gate bridge on the right hand corner.
