It has a historic commercial center from the late 19th century, Old Pasadena; Craftsman-style houses such as the Gamble House; the Norton Simon Museum; and the Rose Bowl stadium, in the Arroyo Seco valley. The city is world-famous for the Rose Parade, the New Year’s floral parade, and is next to the Huntington gardens and library in San Marino.
