The city also has several religious sights. The main local shrine is the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels that once replaced the Cathedral of Saint Vibiana that had suffered from an earthquake in 1994. The new cathedral built in 2002 combines the elements of deconstructivism and Art Nouveau - for this reason, it’s hardly possible to realize that this unusual building is actually a religious monument at first glance. Among other interesting monuments of sacred architecture are St. Sophia Orthodox Cathedral whose rich interior will impress any tourist and the colorful Wat Thai of Los Angeles, a place of pilgrimage for representatives of the Hindu community.
It is worth noting that "The City Of Angels" boasts many monuments of modern architecture. One of these is the 138-meter high City Hall built in 1928, the former tallest building in California until 1928. On one of the upper floors, one can find a beautiful viewing platform, which is definitely appreciated by those looking for aesthetic enjoyment. Capitol Records building erected in 1965 is interesting not only because it houses the inner sanctum of Los Angeles - the most famous record company - but also because of its beautiful exterior. The tower is also notable for the fact that the flickering light spells out the word "Hollywood" in Morse code, thus embodying the idea of Capitol Records' president Alan Livingston.
