Hearst Castle...San Simeon, California

One of the places everyone should put on their bucket list to see is Hearst Castle. It is an amazing architectural and historic icon built between 1919 and 1947 by art collector and publisher William Randolph Hearst and famed San Francisco architect Julia Morgan. What sets this apart from other wealthy estates is the original art work collected, from all over the world, by Hearst. Part of the original 250,000 acre estate, Hearst Castle sits high on the hill top of San Simeon looking over the Pacific Ocean.
