Fort Point is a Nation­al His­toric Site and part of the the Gold­en Gate Nation­al Recre­ation Area. It was built between 1853 and 1861 to pro­tect San Fran­cis­co dur­ing the Civ­il War. It is the brick build­ing in the bot­tom pic­ture in the fore­ground under­neath the Gold­en Gate Bridge.

The fort is open to walk around Fri­day through Sun­day and is free. The entire fort is also a muse­um host­ing a recre­ation of civ­il war era life. Climb the gran­ite cir­cu­lar stair­cas­es to the roof for spec­tac­u­lar views of the bridge, the bay and the city.

The bridge was spe­cial­ly engi­neered to save the fort from demo­li­tion and is a “must see” stop on my tour of the city.

It was rain­ing dur­ing my last vis­it. Thanks to my sis­ter for sug­gest­ing reflec­tion shots in the pud­dles. I received sev­er­al cor­rect answers this week. Thanks for play­ing.
