Watts Tower



Los Angeles is home to an innumerable amount of monuments. Although not neglected this is probably the most rarely visited because of it's location, Watts home of the 1965's Watts Riots. Built by Simon Rodia, working solo, this Gaudi like piece of folk art was constructed with nothing but found objects. It is truly stunning in person even though it was fenced off (only open on the weekend, who knew).

Watts Tower is located on 1765 East 107th St. Los Angeles, CA
