The town of Beverly Hills is an important tourist attraction, as it is considered one of the most magnificent cities in the world. All visitors can stroll through the picturesque streets and admire elegant mansions, look into high-end shops and welcoming restaurants. In the northern part of California there is an important historical site, Fort Ross. The wooden fortress was built in the early 19th century and was home to the Russian settlement. The only building has survived to the present day in an unchanged form; it is the Rotchev House or Commandant’s House. All other facilities were rebuilt by architects.
We should also mention local world-famous museums, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; its collection is one of the largest in the world. The museum features more than 26,000 works of outstanding artists. The largest museum in California is the J. Paul Getty Museum. This art center consists of two separate venues. Getty Villa houses a collection of medieval paintings of artists, as well as the unique collection of art exhibits dating back to the ancient times. The Getty Center introduces the art of the late Middle Ages to its visitors; it is a regular venue for exhibitions of contemporary artists.
