El Pueblo de Los 脕ngeles Historical Monument

LoginSave

LA didn鈥檛 spring from the head of Hollywood directors; it was a full-blown community a good century before DW Griffith showed up. A short stroll northwest of Union Station, this compact, colorful district, located near the spot where LA鈥檚 first colonists settled in 1781, harbors the city鈥檚 oldest buildings. Grab a map at the visitor center inside Avila Adobe then wander through narrow Olvera St鈥檚 vibrant Mexican-themed stalls. Guided tours leave from beside the Plaza Firehouse; no reservations necessary.

The district is home to a number of museums, including the Italian American Museum. A few doors down, the Am茅rica Tropical Interpretive Center is where you can view Mexican artist David Alfaro Siquerios' celebrated (and once-controversial) rooftop mural. Tip: to make the most of the area, avoid visiting on Monday, when many of the museums are closed.
