“I wanted to build something big and I did,” goes a quote from Italian artist Sabato Rodia, an immigrant to the United States in 1894 who went on to create one of the most famous – and imposing – attractions in Watts, Los Angeles, California, a state boasting several underrated artsy spots. The Watts Towers are described as the single largest construction made by a single person, a series of steel pillars and eccentrically decorated mesh networks spanning 17 structures including three eye-popping towers, the highest of which is nearly 100 feet tall. The project took Rodia, who was a skilled construction worker and mason, 33 years to build, and was finally finished in 1954.
