Fort Point
I bring people here for the structure first and the view second. The fort is a complete document of mid-nineteenth century military engineering.
The only brick fort west of the Mississippi River, built 1853–1861 and never fired upon in battle. It sits directly beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, which was engineered around it rather than through it.
