Review:

El Presidio de Santa Barbara State Historic Park is surrounded by the bustling city of Santa Barbara and is where the last remaining of the military outposts constructed by the Spanish along the Alta California coast. Tow of the original presidio buildings have been restored, while other buildings have instead been reconstructed. Established on April 21 of 1782, the Santa Barbara Presidio was one of four presidios built by the Spanish, with the other three in Monterey, San Francisco, and San Diego. El Cuartel is the oldest building in Santa Barbara and California’s second oldest building.
