Watts Towers, a mid-century landmark in Los Angeles, stands as a unique open-air installation. Italian immigrant Simon Rodia constructed the towers over three decades, crafting steel spires that reach towards the sky. Adorned with a mosaic of found objects and sculptures, the towers are complemented by a cactus garden. Visitors can explore this curious arts space through guided tours or simply stop by to view the intricate details from beyond the fence.
