 Santa
Barbara Courthouse
1100
Block of Anacapa St
962-6464
This
magnificent
Spanish-Moorish "palace" was built in 1929 and is
surrounded by lawns and a sunken tropical garden that plays host
to many functions through out the year. Hardly a Sunday
afternoon goes by that a festival, concert or get together of some
sort isn't taking advantage of the beauty of this setting.
The
architecture of this building is quite beautiful and all the
details are well thought out. Hand-painted
ceilings, wrought iron chandeliers, giant murals, imported tiles
give this relatively new building an ancient feel. Believe
it or not, this building is a fully functional courthouse where lawyers and judges
actually handle judicial business! Of
course, no trip to the courthouse would be complete without an
ascent to the tower, which offers 360° views of the city,
mountains, ocean and on a clear day the islands. You will
probably recognize the famous arches from numerous television and
print shots. The tower closes early, however, so make sure
to get there by 3:30 or 4 p.m. at the latest.
