πSanta Barbara | Day Trip Part 1 ποΈπ
π Just a two-hour drive from Los Angeles, Santa Barbara is the perfect getaway! π Old Mission Santa Barbara Known as the "Queen of the California Missions," this historic church was founded in 1786 and rebuilt after earthquakes in 1820 and 1925. Itβs one of the most iconic Spanish colonial mission sites, with its pink twin towers set against the blue sky β a beautiful blend of Spanish and Native American architecture that feels like stepping back in time. πΉ Next door, the Mission Historical Park features a gorgeous garden bursting with roses of every color. Families picnic on the grass, brides celebrate with bachelorette parties, and kids enjoy birthday celebrations β itβs a lively, charming little oasis! ποΈ Superior Court of California County The Santa Barbara County Courthouse is not just the legal heart of the city β itβs an architectural masterpiece! With its Spanish colonial revival style, white walls, red tiles, arches, and bell towers, it radi Mediterranean elegance. Step into the sunlit courtyard surrounded by arched corridors and lush gardens β so peaceful and grand. Many say it feels more like an art palace than a courthouse! Have you visited Santa Barbara?
