Coit Tower Standing 180 feet above San Francisco's Telegraph Hill, Coit Tower is as recognizable a landmark as the famed Golden Gate Bridge. Still, tourists and residents alike may be surprised to know the vistas within the tower are just as impressive as the views from atop. Back in 1934, as part of the federal government's Public Works of Art project, 26 artists adorned the first two floors of Coit Tower with expansive fresco murals offering a view into San Francisco's people, industry, and landscape. Even if a trip to the Golden Gate isn't in your near future, you can take a gander at the impressive layout of murals and even the exterior gardens through the site's panoramic photos.
