Tips from the community
The Pulgas Water Temple stands as a unique architectural testament to the engineering achievements of the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct system, located in San Mateo County near Silicon Valley. This graceful monument, featuring fluted columns and a reflecting pool, commemorates the incredible effort that brought water over 160 miles from the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Francisco Bay Area. As a serene attraction for visitors interested in both history and architecture, the temple provides a picturesque and educational detour from the tech-centric sights typically associated with Silicon Valley.

On your way to or from Filoli's don't forget to stop off at the Pulgas Water temple to soak in the view. The large structure was built to commemorate where the waters lead down into the San Francisco and Bay area. It is a very neat hidden gem of a park for the area. Very Peaceful.
