๐Ÿง  Fun fact

Regarded as one of Southern California's most culturally impactful public art pieces, Simon Rodia meticulously crafted this sculpture installation by hand over a span of 33 years.


Situated in the Watts neighborhood of South Los Angeles, the installation comprises 17 interconnected sculptural structures, with some towers reaching heights of over 99 feet.


Fashioned from a mix of steel, concrete, and wiring, these towers are adorned with an array of recycled materials such as vintage glass soda bottles, tiles, porcelain, mirrors, seashells, and more. The towering mosaics present a breathtaking spectacle, best experienced in person.
