From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Several of the cottages in 2009

The House of Pacific Relations International Cottages is a complex of cottages in Balboa Park in San Diego, California. Built for the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition, they currently house 34 groups that "promote multicultural goodwill and understanding through educational and cultural programs".[1] Groups that do not have their own cottage meet in the nearby Hall of Nations.[2] The United Nations Association of San Diego operates separately out of the neighboring United Nations Building.[3]

In 2021, the House of Pacific Relations International Cottages expanded, adding nine new cottages for Mexico, Panama, the Philippines, Peru, India, Korea, Palestine, Turkey, and the Chamorro people (indigenous people of the Mariana Islands).[4]

In 2025, the House of Somalia was added as the first cottage representing an African nation.[5]
