Great Wall of Los Angeles

The Great Wall of Los Angeles (also known as The History of California ) is a since 2017 in the National Register of Historic Places registered mural in the district of North Hollywood in Los Angeles .

The mural designed by the Chicana artist Judith F. Baca is designed in the style of the Chicano murals of the 1970s and muralism and thus picks up on stylistic devices from Mesoamerican , European and especially Spanish culture. The picture, a little over 4 meters (13.5 feet) high and almost 840 meters (2754 feet) long , is painted directly onto the concrete wall of the flood basin of the Tujunga Wash , a tributary of the Los Angeles River . The mural stretches from Oxnard Street in the north to Burbank Boulevard in the south.
