The Pima County Historic Courthouse is among Tucson’s most beloved landmarks. Designed by architect Roy Place, this iconic Spanish Colonial Revival-styled structure was built in 1929 and remained in service for an 86-year span during which time it served as the backdrop for numerous wedding proceedings and became home to several County departments.
In 1978, this building obtained its “Historic” designation from the National Register of Historic Places. It was dubbed the “most outstanding Spanish Colonial Revival building in Arizona” with its “elegant blue-tiled dome” recorded as the most prominent feature. Rightfully so, as this iconic mosaic dome has become one of the most recognized structures in the region, including the official Pima County logo.

AJ’s is a bit pricey and the food selections reflect the cost. Excellent meats and seafood and vegetables. They have an outdoor patio that serves grilled food and you can also buy meals inside at the deli counter’s and then eat outside. It has a gorgeous view and the dining is very casual. There’s also a sushi bar inside as well as a small salad bar, deliciously cooked full meals and a sandwich salad pizza menu. It’s on par with a Whole Foods but more locally sourced
