The Enchanted Hill - The Story of Hearst Castle at San Simeon

History may never again record the saga of a man whose enormous personal wealth allowed him to conceive, erect, and furnish a dwelling on a scale that during his time rivaled anything constructed by kings, potentates, or royal families.

On a parcel of land consisting of over 250,000 acres, William Randolph Hearst transformed a wilderness into a show place that was part castle, part museum, part resort, part zoo, part memorial.
