El Pueblo de Los Ángeles Historical Monument, also known as Los Angeles Plaza Historic District, is a historic district situated in the oldest part of Downtown Los Angeles. This district was the city's center under Spanish, Mexican, and American rule for most of the 19th century. It was designated as a State Historic Monument in 1953 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
Historical Structures in the District
The district encompasses the oldest historical structures of the plaza. These include La Iglesia de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles church from 1822, the Avila Adobe from 1818, which is the city's oldest residence, the Olvera Street market, the Pico House from 1870, and the Old Plaza Fire Station from 1884. Four of these buildings have been renovated and are now used as museums.
Visitor Center and Tours
For visitors interested in learning more about the district, there is a visitor center located inside the Sepúlveda House. Additionally, a volunteer organization known as Las Angelitas del Pueblo offers tours of the district, providing a deeper understanding of the area's history and significance.
