When I was in LA, I noticed a cool park. I found it is was El Pueblo de Los Angeles and it is a historic district located in the oldest section on LA. It was founded in 1781 and has been under three flags (Spain, Mexico and U.S.) The 44 -park area was designated a state historic monument in 1953 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972:
 |
| King Carlos III of Spain 1759-1788 |
 |
| Felipe De Neve Spanish Governor of California 1775-1782 |
El Pueblo de Los Angeles is a wonderful place and a must visit when you are in the City of Angeles.
Great shots.

Nice! Glad you had a good time in Los Angeles. El Pueblo and other areas in Downtown are gaining a lot of popularity.
ReplyDeleteTo think I was born in E.L.A. and grew up in the Los Angeles area but never visited here.
ReplyDeleteI been to so much of our United States and yet still have so much I haven't seen yet. Like this beautiful spot!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great discovery! So much to see! Thanks for showing us round.

Looks like not only a beautiful park, Patrick, but one rich with history and culture. Thanks for sharing the great pics from your visit there.
ReplyDeletePatrick, Historic areas are interesting. It's really neat to walk where noted people of history stepped. The name Carlos got me to thinking, some family members on my dad's side had this as a first name. I wonder if there's some Spain/Mexican blood ties in my family roots. I know my maternal great grandfather has some Spaniard blood, but I don't know how much. I wish I could find someone in the family who has documented our legacy to the land which they came from. That would be really cool to know. Anywho, thanks for sharing such wonderful photos and for linking up today. Have a fototastic week!
