The Presidio This beautiful wooded corner of the city has stunning views over the Golden Gate, but from 1776 until 1994 it was owned and occupied by first the Spanish, 17 boulevard saint jacques 75014 paris france then the Mexican, 17 boulevard saint jacques 75014 paris france and finally, the US armies, and almost entirely off limits to anyone else. It has now been dubbed a major part of the Golden Gate National Recreational Area, and plans are still coalescing as to its ultimate future. 17 boulevard saint jacques 75014 paris france At the very least, it is a spectacular park, full of nature trails, streams, forests, drives, and historic structures. Some of the buildings are being turned into cultural centers, but many of them are still residences. Parts of it may eventually be developed for commercial use (see p48). d Map D2
