Towers Watts

The Watts Towers form a whole of eight turns (highest measurement 31 m), built of 1921 to 1954 by Simon Rodia, a Neapolitan immigrant. They are located in the district of Watts, with Los Angeles, in California, with the the United States. The turns are made up of reinforced steel wire ropes of cement in which various objects are encrusted coming from the refuse tips (of the pieces of glass and crockery, of the shells…).
