Hearst Castle, located in San Simeon, California, is a historic estate built by newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. Designed by architect Julia Morgan, the estate features a stunning main house called Casa Grande, along with three guest houses, expansive gardens, pools, and a private zoo. Construction began in 1919 and continued for nearly three decades, resulting in a luxurious and eclectic blend of Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival architectural styles.
