Pershing Square Park

One of LA's most quintessential public spaces, the Spanish-inspired plaza—which is interrupted by a series of large geometric structures painted in bright hues of pink, purple, red and yellow—is a popular gathering space for locals, featuring wide pathways lined with trees, a circular fountain, and benches galore. Surrounding the park are a series of iconic 1920s- and 1930s-built edifices like the Subway Terminal Building and the Biltmore Hotel.
