Place indismissible
Santa Barbara County Courthouse
The Santa Barbara County Courthouse mix patios, azulejos, painted staircases and towers in a particularly neat Spanish neo-colonial decor. The interior galleries are worth as much as the panorama from the tower, where red roofs, palm trees, mountains and ocean can be read with one look.
Culture and heritage
Mission Santa Barbara
Mission Santa Barbara Its façade is lined with two bell towers facing the mountains, in a garden of open roses and lawns. Its museum, church and cemetery evoke the Franciscan period, while recalling that this story is also part of the older one, the Chumash.
Place indismissible
Stearns Wharf
Stearns Wharf extends State Street over the water, with restaurants, small shops, fishermen and views of the hills of Santa Barbara. From the end of the pier, the city seems to be framed between beach, palm trees and mountains, especially when the light falls on the white facades.
Place indismissible
Lotusland
Lotusland is a very composed botanical garden, born from the estate of Ganna Walska in Montecito. Cactus, cycas, broméliaceae, lotus and thematic gardens follow it as plant theatre plays, with a tour by reservation that is suitable for travellers sensitive to landscape design as well as rare plants.
