10 Monuments & Statues in San Francisco That You Shouldn't Miss

May 5, 2022 Enriqueta Cusson

Every neighborhood in San Francisco has its own personality, from the hippie chic of the Upper Haight to the hipster grit of the Mission. The Marina district boasts trendy bistros and postcard-perfect views of the Golden Gate Bridge, while Noe Valley offers quaint and quiet boutiques. Wave hello to the sea lions at Pier 39, and sample local cheese and charcuterie at the Ferry Building. Sit in on a yoga session in Dolores Park or marvel at the Dutch Windmill across from Ocean Beach.

The National Shrine of Saint Francis of Assisi

Reviewed By mini - Fremont, United States

I visited the National Shrine of Saint Francis of Assisi. It is in the North Beach - Chinatown area of San Francisco. It was founded June 17, 1849. It was the first parish church in San Francisco as well as the first parochial school. The first ordination to th priesthood was held there in 1852. I visited during the Christmas holiday season so nativity scenes were up as well as poinsettias It was very pretty. The archietecture, religious statues, and; tall column struce of the cathedral are all nice to see.

Yoda fountain

Reviewed By wireless_in_CA

While visiting the Presidio we finally had the time to search for the Yoda Fountain. It was about a 15 minute walk from our parking spot (in Lot 7) to the Lucasfilm Sound and Lights building. The lot right in front required us to show an employee badge so unfortunately we did not qualify. Due to Covid-19 the lobby was not open so we did not get to see the other Star Wars memorabilia inside. Hopefully soon. The statue itself was quite detailed. Yoda was perched above the fountain in a classic pose about to say something wise to his Jedi students. We definitely will be back.

Just outside Pier 39 near the street is a Crab Sculpture clad in shells and stuff - needs to be maintained to be better able to see. A great entrance to this tourist area of shops and food places
