The California Tower is 198 feet (60 m) tall and is open for public tours as of January 1, 2015. The tower's design is Spanish while the details and color are Mexican in style. The tower is composed of three tiers that shift from a quadrangle to an octagon and then a circle. There is a Maas-Rowe carillon in the tower, first installed in 1946 and replaced in 1967. The carillon can be heard throughout the park. It plays the Westminster Chimes every quarter-hour, and a resident carilloneur plays three songs at noon every day. The tower has been described as "San Diego's Icon," the most photographed and best-known landmark in San Diego. As I journey through Balboa Park on my daily walks, it is an extreme joy and pleasure to hear the chimes of the carillon in the background. I love the chimes!

Der Turm besteht aus drei Schichten, die aus einem Viereck zu einem Achteck und dann einen Kreis verschieben. Es gibt einen Maas-Rowe Carillon im Turm, zuerst im Jahr 1946 installiert und ersetzt im Jahr 1967. Das Carillon kann über den Park zu hören. Es spielt die Westminster Chimes jede Viertelstunde, und ein Bewohner Glockenspieler spielt täglich am Mittag drei Lieder. Der Turm wurde als "San Diego Icon", das am meisten fotografierte und bekannteste Sehenswürdigkeit in San Diego beschrieben. Als ich Reise durch Balboa Park auf meine täglichen Spaziergänge, ist es eine extreme Freude und Vergnügen, die Glocken des Glockenspiels im Hintergrund zu hören. Ich liebe die Glocken!

Read moreWe wanted to take the tour and learn about the history and architecture of this historical building. Instead we got a floor-by-floor description of how evil San Diego founders were/are. Woke history of native Americans, Chinese, Blacks, LatinX on every floor - none of them having anything to do with this building or Balboa Park. Tour ended with a plug to go to TJ and leave San Diego behind. Had I not been literally locked in a tower, I would have left. Skip this tour and the...
