美加一个月（七十七）旧金山 艺术宫（Palace of fine）

        在导游的行程单里，这里是罗马广场。查了半天这里的大名还是叫艺术宫。

        1915年这里修这些建筑物是为了巴拿马太平洋万国博览会。开完博览会这剩下这个建筑物没有拆。直到1962年，又委托德裔的建筑师德贝克（Bernad Maybeck）设计重修，在原来罗马建筑的基础上，精雕细琢，才有了今天看到这个美好。

        导游对这个建筑物倒是没有说啥，主要告诉大家，这个艺术宫建筑上面的男男女女。凡是女人都脸朝里，哭泣着在地震中死难的亲人。凡是男人都昂首挺胸，投身旧金山的重建。他说的是1906年旧金山那场大地震，不但城市中大量的房子被震塌了，还引起了大火。地震中死亡的人数三千人到六千人,二三十万的人流离失所。那时候，旧金山整个就是四十万人。里氏7.6级的地震，不但震塌了房屋，还破坏了天然桥管道和供水系统。地震引起了火灾，保险公司说，只给火灾受损的房子赔偿，不给地震受损的房子赔，于是又有人人为放火，烧掉自己的房子。还有更甚，政府动用了军队，企图用炸药打开房屋间的防火道，结果又引发了新的火灾...
