buildings. Here we have the view from Anacapa of the clock and tower.
On the side is the famous Courthouse Courtyard where many Fiesta
activities take place.
As we walk inside and wander up the stairs you'll notice the impressive
ceiling to the stairwell leading to the second floor.
Browsing On the second floor we come across the famous Mural Room.

of all of Santa Barbara, including a view of the Mission and Seminary
where we just came from.
