The Millennium Experience

Los Angeles is a city enriched with landmarks that you will not be able to find in other part of the USA. The Watts Towers are an example. This distinctive monument was the mastermind of Simon Rodia, a construction worker who built it over three decades. The Watts Towers are composed of 17 separated sculptural pieces and they occupy a residential lot in the community of Watts.

Two of the towers reach nearly 100 feet, but this is not the only characteristic note of the landmark.

Using simple hand tools and cast off material, such as broken glass, sea shells, pottery and ceramic pieces, Simon Rodia, an Italian emigrant, worked to this monument in order to celebrate the spirit of liberty gave him the possibility to change dreams into something real.

Thanks to international flight you can simply  reach Los Angeles and come to see these famous  towers.

The Watts Towers are one of the nine works of folk art on the National Register of Historic Places.

What’s more, each year, visitors are attracted to Watts Towers to take part to the Simon Rodia Watts Towers Jazz Festival and to the watts Towers Day of  Drum Festival.

It is very strange to see these high structure constructed from steel pipes and rods, coated with mortar.

Rodia called them “Nuestro Pueblo” , that in Spanish means “our town” and built them with no special equipment or a specific design.

He worked alone, helped only by children that brought pieces of broken glass and pottery to him, some of them were truly used.
