This was the home of Julia Morgan, a leading figure in Californian architecture. In San Simeon, you can admire the Hearst Castle, a gigantic Monaco-style château built between 1919 and 1947. It was the estate of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, whose life and personality inspired Orson Wells' famous masterpiece Citizen Kane. At the time, the whole of Hollywood, from Gary Cooper to Charlie Chaplin, flocked to this remote corner of the coast to admire the palace of the billionaire and his mistress, the actress Marion Davis. Today, it's a must-see for lovers of architecture.
