Villa Aurora, Spanish Colonial Revival residence in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, United States.
The Villa Aurora spans 6,700 square feet on a 19,000 square-foot lot, featuring wooden ceilings from Spain and a Renaissance fountain from Tuscany.
Built in 1927 by the Los Angeles Times as a demonstration house, the villa was purchased in 1943 by German exiles Lion and Marta Feuchtwanger for $9,000.
The residence holds a collection of 22,000 volumes from Lion Feuchtwanger's library, including rare books and manuscripts from the German exile period.
The property operates as an international artists' residence, offering guided tours by appointment and hosting regular cultural events throughout the year.
The building incorporates Moorish-inspired tiles from the Malibu Tile Company and redwood walls, combining Mediterranean elements with California craftsmanship.
