The Legion of Honor in Lincoln Park San Francisco,originally the California Palace of the Legion of Honor,is part of the fine arts museum of the DeYoung Museum. The building is a full size scale model of the French pavilion from the 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition,which intern was a three fourth scale model of the Palas de la Legion dHonneur in Paris,and a gift of the Spreckels sugar barons of San Francisco. Perched on top of a hill,you can come for just the commanding views of the city and Golden Gate,the art works surrounding you,or both,just to relax and enjoy. On either side of the building is a sculpture of Joan of Arch on one side,and El Cid on the other. In the parking lot across from the entrance is the large,red steel sculpture Pax Jerusalemme. As enjoyed 6 September 2023.
