What Federico S likes about El Presidio De Santa Bárbara State Historic Park:
The Royal Presidio of Santa Barbara was the first military settlement in the area during the Spanish occupation. Today, visitors can see several remaining structures, including part of the soldiers' barracks and a beautifully decorated church. It's definitely worth a visit! View all feedback.

What Joanna H Y doesn't like about El Presidio De Santa Bárbara State Historic Park:
On Labor Day holiday, we went without looking at the specific opening hours, so we had to take photos in front of the door and left. Look at the internet carefully. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are also closed. Friends who want to go must check the opening hours first. Parking is difficult at the door. View all feedback.

A lot of interesting info throughout the Presidio and it's good to see what life was like back then.
