Description
Dating from the era of the Pueblo de Los Angeles, The Plaza and "Old Plaza Church" (Mission Nuestra Senora Reina de los Angeles) in 1869. There is a square main brick reservoir in the middle of the Plaza at the right, which was the terminus of the town's historic lifeline: the Zanja Madra. The Plaza itself was rounded and turned into a traditional ornate plaza, with a fountain that later became a bandstand. They are now a part of Olvera Street.
