Description

As you leave the windswept crest of Big Sur, one is invariably surprised to stumble across this extravagant castle overlooking the Pacific, which embodies the contrasts and paradoxes of California. Without a care for financial or technical considerations, newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst hired architect Julia Morgan, who had acquired reinforced concrete know-how in Paris, to build this lavishly embellished palatial estate and house from 1919 to 1947.
