Casa Romantica, Spanish Colonial Revival building in San Clemente, California, United States.
The Casa Romantica spans 2.5 acres on a coastal bluff, featuring stucco walls, Mexican tiles, and a moon gate entrance overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Ole Hanson, former Seattle mayor and San Clemente founder, constructed this seven-bedroom residence between 1927 and 1928 as part of his Spanish Village vision.
The Cultural Center maintains gardens with native plants used by Acjachmen Indians and hosts sixty annual events including concerts, workshops, and educational programs.
Visitors can access guided tours of the property, participate in cultural programs, and explore the gardens Tuesday through Thursday from 10 AM to 4 PM.
The octagonal study tower provides 360-degree views of the coastline, while handcrafted tiles from Mexico and Italy decorate the interior and exterior spaces.
