Wind Harp Tower in South San Francisco, California, is a captivating outdoor installation that showcases the beauty and power of wind. Standing at 94 feet high and constructed with steel I-beams, this iconic structure was created by artists Lucia and Aristides Demetrios in 1967. Positioned 243 feet above sea level, the tower offers breathtaking views of the bay and can be seen from the Bay Bridge, East Bay, and San Francisco Airport.

Acquired by the City of South San Francisco in 1996, this landmark was re-dedicated in 1997. A must-visit for art enthusiasts and nature lovers alike, Wind Harp Tower is a testament to the harmonious relationship between art, architecture, and the natural elements.
