Pima County Courthouse

The Pima County Courthouse is a mosaic tiled domed building, similar in some ways to the capital buildings found around the country. The building was designed in 1928 by architect Roy Place. The style is Spanish Colonial Revival and fans of Spanish style architecture travel to photograph and study the building. The building was originally the main country courthouse building in Tucson. Over the years, its use was reduced and now it is used on the lower level for state criminal matters. It also houses the Pima County Treasurer and Recorder. Those traveling to Tucson will want to take a few minutes to photograph the building because it is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the area. Previous travelers reported that the best point to photograph the building is from the walkway near the arches that leads to the courtyard. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. If you are headed to Tucson for a vacation or you live in the area, take a few minutes to visit the building and enjoy the area surrounding it. There are a number of lodging and dining options in the area, as well as museums, galleries, and places to shop.
