For a different type of star-gazing, peek through the telescopes at the Griffith Observatory.

Nestled at the foot of the Hollywood Hills, the Monastery of the Angels is a hidden treasure. The cloistered Dominican Nuns of the community are dedicated to perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Visitors can join the nuns for prayer in a special guest chapel, separated by a screen and central altar. In the gift shop, the famous Monastery Pumpkin Bread is available. Molto buonissimo! This place is a great blessing.

The city's first movie theater is now a Hispanic church.
Reviewed By russypooh - Long Beach, United States
Built in 1917, the theatre was designed in an exquisite Californian Churrigueresque style by noted Los Angeles architect Albert C. Martin. It was the first movie palace built by famed Hollywood entrepreneur Sid Grauman, who also founded Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and the Egyptian Theatre. In the 50’s, the theatre became an epicenter of Spanish language entertainment in the country. Today it is one of the last surviving grand movie palaces from the turn of the century.
