Take a journey through time and learn about the history of North Beach neighborhood. San Francisco has over 400 designated landmarks. The North Beach district alone is home to 33 of them. Each building, each park and each monument has a story of its own and quite often a fascinating bit of history behind it. Join us and go back in time to see what makes this community so unique and vibrant.
