Fort Mason, Military fort in Marina District, San Francisco, United States
Fort Mason extends along the San Francisco Bay waterfront with multiple buildings, warehouses, and piers spanning 13 acres of waterfront property.
During World War II, Fort Mason served as the San Francisco Port of Embarkation, coordinating the deployment of over 1.6 million military personnel to Pacific operations.
The Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture hosts exhibitions, performances, and workshops across twelve venues, including Gallery 308 and the Museo Italo Americano.
Visitors can explore the grounds daily, accessing various restaurants, cafes, and art galleries while enjoying views of San Francisco Bay and Alcatraz Island.
