By Carlie Smith


While San Diego is a gorgeous place not only famous for its great weather, there are monuments in San Diego that are definitely worth checking out. San Diego is not just an old and historic city, but one with many historical spots to visit. When you come to San Diego be ready the give these San Diego monuments a gander.

Hotel Del Coronado

One of the most beautiful monuments in San Diego is the superb Hotel Del Coronado. Found on Coronado Island, this beautiful and historic hotel, built in 1888, has been a widely sought after vacationing spot for folk from all across the globe. Guests have the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful sparkling beach where kids and adults alike play at the Pacific Ocean's edge. Watersports selections of many alternative activities, eateries and kinds of cuisine are offered. Additionally, easy access to the Coronado Mall for shopping. The entire island is geared to causing you to feel relaxed and welcome.

Lots of Hollywood's flicks have made use of the Hotel Del Coronado as a shooting site location. Possibly the most generally known film would be the very funny comedy "Some Like it Hot" with Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe. As you walk through the key building, photos of stars and legends, from royalty to Charles Lindbergh, that have either worked or stayed in the hotel are on display. There's also a full-size ballroom dancehall and meeting rooms, just to note a few facilities.

Cabrillo National MonumentThe hotel also

This place possibly marks one of the most historically significant spots in San Diego. In 1542 a person named Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo was the very first EU to step onto the North American West Coast. He is the person responsible for the discovery of the land that San Diego sits on today, and without this monumental happening, there may have not ever been a San Diego. This isn't just the monument situated on beautiful Point Loma, but very close to the sea. It tells the history of the first explorers that reached this area and is an important part of San Diego history.

USS Midway Museum

This is a legitimate live aircraft carrier located in the San Diego Harbor that served the U. S. Military for 47 years. It is currently a live maritime museum that's open to the public. Not only is it a popular place for families, it also offers prime viewing space for the 4th of July fireworks in San Diego. On deck there are enormous aircraft that visitors can climb into the cockpits of. You can go below deck on not only see the captains cabin, but where the squaddies on this ship ate, lived, and performed their duties; even the sickbay where they'd go if they were wounded or not feeling well. This ship is a true marvel and a great monument not only for San Diego, but of the might of the United States armed forces.
