Landmarks in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is full of memorable places and landmarks. For the die-hard historian there are the Spanish Missions and old adobe houses. Moving closer to the present, the city is rich in Art Deco masterpieces: there is always another gorgeous old department store, movie theater or public building to see if you know where to find them. Last but not least, Los Angeles has a lot of important modern and postmodern landmarks as well.
