Description
Looking west out and under the Golden Gate Bridge from the rooftop of Fort Point in San Francisco, California. The old Cape Cod-Style lighthouse sits atop of the fort; it ceased being used at the completion of the Golden Gate Bridge. A great tourist destination that provides a peek into the past with some spectacular views from its roof of both inside and outside the San Francisco Bay and definitely a unique perspective on the Golden Gate Bridge.
The fort was originally built during the civil war era to defend the San Francisco Bay from hostile warships. It is now protected as a United States National Historic Site within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. There is much to see and appreciate at the fort and in the surrounding area and admission is free.
