Great artists are characterized by having followers or fans who are aware of their celebrities, but some fans are in a higher category, and in this select group are those of Elvis Presley. They have made it possible for the famous “Graceland” mansion to hold the title of one of the most visited houses in the world. Located in Memphis, Tennessee, it was the residence of the King of Rock from the age of 22 until his death in 1977.

The mansion was headed for an uncertain fate due to the high tax burden until Priscilla Presley had the brilliant idea to open it to the public and generate a financial solution through tourism contributions. Today, Graceland is a sort of museum that boasts the second most visited house in the United States and the best musical attraction in the world.

It has been 45 years since Elvis’ death, and still his legacy lives on, his music, his history, his legend, his music and his artistic and musical legacy have only increased since that fateful August 1977.

The Graceland mansion is an important part of this heritage that the singer was able to leave to humanity and, thanks to his fame and his fans, has become a property that has become an obligatory pilgrimage site for his thousands of fans. Let’s take a detailed look at each corner of this spectacular mansion, which has been open to the public since June 7, 1982.

A valuable, antique, and spacious mansion

Graceland was built in 1939 and has an extension of 6 hectares, and it is not a single construction because it is a complex that includes numerous buildings and stables. The main house is of large proportions, with 23 rooms, 8 of which are arranged as bedrooms. Although the property only represented an investment of 100,000 dollars when the singer was 22 years old, today it is listed and its value is estimated to be in the order of 100 million dollars.

The mansion has a neoclassical colonial portico, very characteristic of the time of its construction. The singer managed to expand it from 1,000 square meters to 1,600 square meters about the original floor plan.

Record number of visits in the United States

Maintains the title of being the most visited building in the United States after the White House Visitors can enjoy excellent guided tours through its gardens, stables and obviously inside the mansion, with the only negative being that there is no public access to the site where the singer was found dead.

The house maintains a kitsch aesthetic style where a diversity of cultures predominate. Its 5 staircases, its various leisure rooms, a shooting range, horse stables, Polynesian elements, a waterfall that breaks over a stone wall are just some of the eccentricities available in this sort of museum of worship to the King of Rock.

A religious reputation to the home of the King of Rock and Roll

The mansion also offers incredible amenities both inside and outside, and the artist was emphatic in life to achieve a unique and irreverent style to turn each space into a magical and unrepeatable place. The entrance has access to the stairs, the dining room, the living room and the bedroom of the singer’s mother.
