Arts & Culture
The Watts Towers are a real testament to what one person can create with just their hands and found materials. An Italian immigrant, Simon Rodia, built them over the course of 33 years from 1921 to 1954. Now they are a National Historic Landmark and there is an art gallery on the land adjoining them. One of Stina's favorite local landmarks.
