Coit Tower is an iconic landmark located in San Francisco, California, USA. Situated atop Telegraph Hill, the tower offers panoramic views of the city and the bay. Completed in 1933, Coit Tower was funded by a bequest from Lillie Hitchcock Coit, a wealthy socialite and patron of the city's firefighters. The 210-foot-tall structure is known for its distinctive Art Deco design and its interior murals, which were painted by various artists as part of a New Deal-era program. The murals depict various aspects of California life during the Great Depression.
