Painted Ladies

  Painted Ladies, a row of Victorian houses at Alamo Square in San Francisco, are iconic representations of the city's architectural charm. Built between 1892 and 1896, these five colorful homes, known for their distinctive ornate details, have a rich history that has made them a popular backdrop for photography and film, including the TV series "Full House." Visitors can explore the adjacent park, offering a great view and an opportunity for leisurely picnics. The area comes alive in early spring, when the nearby cherry blossoms bloom, enhancing the beauty of the landscape. Catching a glimpse of these painted homes against the backdrop of the San Francisco skyline is a highlight for both locals and tourists alike.
