Point Loma looking north
Back
Inscription | 9C-K574 Point Loma looking north through the silver-gate, the entrance to San Diego Bay one of the three scenic harbors of the world. North Island, Coronado, and the city of San Diego in the distance. Point Loma is a peninsula 7 miles long with cliffs 400 feet high, that forms a natural protecting arm for the west side of San Diego Bay. Here in ancient times the Spanish built a small fort of cobblestone, called Fort Guijarros (pronounced Geeharros). On this point Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo first set foot on California soil in 1542. In 1852 the United States government established a military reservation and became what was known as Fort Rosecrans. |
