赫氏古堡简介：

赫氏古堡是20世纪美国报业大亨威廉·蓝道夫·赫斯特在加利福尼亚州圣西蒙附近滨海的一座小山上建造的。这座私人庄园1919年开始规划建设，直到1947年才基本建成。

赫氏古堡占地超过8300平方米的庄园建筑混合着欧洲和地中海建筑风格，丰富的收藏具有极高的艺术价值。赫斯特死后，由于难以承受高额的遗产税，其家族于1957年将城堡及附近庄园捐献给加州。如今，城堡作为加州的州立历史公园对游客开放。

With more than 65,000 square feet of space and 115 rooms, Hearst Castle is one of America’s largest and most treasured homes. Hearst Castle was built by American newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst in 1919 after inherited 45,000 acres of farmland. He would go on to purchase 200,000 more acres of land, allowing him to create the kind of sprawling compound rarely seen to this day. In addition to the main house, La Casa Grande, Hearst Castle is comprised of three guest houses, an outdoor pool, and numerous other amenities. One of the most recognizable rooms in the Hearst Castle is the 345,000 gallons indoor Roman pool. Styled after Ancient Roman baths, the pool is decorated with eight statuses of Roman and Greed gods, goddesses, and heroes. Hearst was known for throwing lavish parties, and hosting important figures at his San Simeon home. Winston Churchill, Charlie Chaplin, Gary Grant, Greta Garbo, and Calvin Coolidge were some of the hundreds of house guests. The home was donated to the State of California in 1958, and welcomes more than 750,000 visitors every year.
