Visit San Diego Monuments

By Carlie Smith


While San Diego is a gorgeous town not only renowned for its great weather, there are monuments in San Diego that are certainly worth checking out. San Diego is not only an old historic town, but one with a lot of historic spots to see. When you come to San Diego be certain the give these San Diego monuments a gander.

Hotel Del Coronado

One of the prettiest monuments in San Diego is the magnificent Hotel Del Coronado. Situated on Coronado Island, this historic hotel, built in 1888, has been a widely requested holiday spot for folks from all across the globe. Guests have the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful sparkling beach where kids and adults alike play at the Pacific Ocean's edge. Watersports choices of many various activities, restaurants and sorts of cuisine are offered. Additionally, quick access to the Coronado Mall for shopping. The entire island is geared to helping visitors feel relaxed and welcome.

Many of Hollywood's pictures have made use of the Hotel Del Coronado as a shooting site location. Probably the most generally known movie would be the hilarious comedy "Some Like it Hot" with Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe. As you wander through the main building, pictures of stars and legends, from royalty to Charles Lindbergh, that have either worked or stayed in the hotel are on show. There's also a fullsize ballroom and meeting rooms, just to note a few conveniences.

Cabrillo Countrywide MonumentThe hotel also

This place possibly marks one of the most historically major spots in San Diego. In 1542 a man named Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo was the very first European to step onto the North American West Coast. He's the person responsible for the discovery of the land that San Diego sits on today, and without this huge ocurring, there may have not ever been a San Diego. This isn't just the monument located on lovely Point Loma, but right next to the sea. It tells the tale of the first explorers that reached this area and is a very important part of San Diego history.

USS Midway Museum

This is a genuine live aircraft carrier located in the San Diego Harbor that served the United States Military for 47 years. It is now a live maritime museum available and open to the public. Not only is it a preferred place for families, but it offers prime viewing space for the Fourth of July fireworks in San Diego. On deck there are big aircraft that visitors can climb into the cockpits of. You can go below deck on not only see the captains cabin, but where the squaddies on this ship ate, lived, and performed their commitments; even the sickbay where they'd go if they were hurt or not feeling well. This ship is a genuine wonder and a great monument not merely for San Diego, but of the might of the United States army.
