Neptune Pool at Hearst Castle

Overlooking the Pacific Ocean from atop verdant hills in San Simeon, this majestic Roman-style Neptune Pool is an architectural marvel. Its azure waters are bordered by statues of mythological creatures including Tritons and sea nymphs, while towering cypress trees stand sentinel around its perimeter. A classical rotunda adorned with Corinthian columns anchors one end of the pool, completing a scene that exudes opulence amidst nature's splendor.
