Old Town of El Pueblo de Los Angeles

The historic center of Los Angeles, El Pueblo de Los Angeles, is better known by its second name, the Old City. Surprisingly, during its two hundred-year history, the Old Town has preserved 27 ancient buildings, the construction of which was carried out at the end of the eighteenth century.

In 1781, on the site of present-day Los Angeles, King Carlos III of Spain founded a small settlement. The king’s main goal was to grow food for his soldiers.

Today, El Pueblo de Los Angeles is a real paradise for tourists. Here the atmosphere of the past is fully recreated, and there are many themed shops and souvenir shops.
