Fun Facts

Climbing the California Tower gives you a panoramic view of the city, stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the mountains!

The California Tower is a stunning example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, inspired by the 1915 Panama-California Exposition.

The tower houses a carillon of 100 bells, each playing a unique note to create beautiful melodies.

After being closed for 80 years, the tower reopened to the public in 2015, offering tours and breathtaking views.

The chimes of the California Tower are controlled by a computer system, ensuring they ring out perfectly every time!
