Painted Ladies (Alamo Square viewpoint)

The row of Victorian houses known as the Painted Ladies, viewed from Alamo Square Park, is one of San Francisco’s most photographed scenes and frequently appears in widely shared social media images and postcards. The houses date from the late 19th century and the park-facing view has been used in film and television as an iconic San Francisco backdrop. Visitors commonly gather in Alamo Square Park to photograph the skyline framed by the Painted Ladies.
