Nuestra Senora Reina de Los Angeles

Nuestra Senora Reina de Los Angeles - or as it's often referred to, Plaza Church - means "our lady queen of angels" and is the oldest church in Los Angeles. It is of Roman Catholic denomination and has operated as a church since its conception. As such, the church has traditional California mission-style architecture. In front of the church by the entrance, you can also see a historic bell that dates back to 1906. The altar inside is gilded in gold sections, highlighting paintings on the wall, adding to the simplistic beauty and old-country feel of the church. The church as it stands now is its the third rebuild, which occurred in the early 1860's - the first two versions were destroyed in earthquakes.
