The Paseo de la Guerra is a complex of historic buildings in downtown Santa Barbara, California. Since 1977 it is listed (as El Paseo and Casa de la Guerra) in National Register of Historic Places.[1] It is named for the Guerra family of California, a historically prominent Californio family in Santa Barbara.
