Lonely Planet review

The views from the 85ft clock tower of the Santa Barbara County Courthouse are great. Built in Spanish-Moorish Revival style in 1929, the courthouse also features hand-painted ceilings, wrought-iron chandeliers, and tiles from Tunisia and Spain. Check out the mural room on the second floor. You can explore it yourself but you'll get more out of the free docent-led tour offered at Monday through Saturday, and at Monday, Tuesday and Friday.

You're free to explore on your own, but the best way to see it is to take the free tour. If you don't, be sure to have a look at the mural room and climb up the 24m (80ft) clock tower to see panoramic views of the city.
