Our story is simple: The founder of San Clemente, Ole Hanson, built this Spanish Colonial Revival home as his representation of the California dream in 1927, and patterned the development of the rest of the city after this property.

The property passed through many hands throughout the twentieth century. In the late 1980s, a group of forward-thinking individuals who saw what Casa Romantica could become took responsibility for its future.

It was registered as a historic landmark, restored to its original beauty through a major capital campaign, and transformed into a cultural arts center as well as an architectural and botanical destination.

Nearly twenty years later, our vibrant institution programs over 100 multi-cultural events every year, hosts a variety of educational programs, maintains 2.5 acres of diversified water-wise coastal flora from all over the world, and welcomes over 40,000 visitors annually.
