Bunker Hill Steps
- Address: 5th St. between Grand Ave. and Figueroa St., Downtown, Los Angeles, CA | Map It
Fodor's Review:
Threading a peaceful path through Downtown's urban towers, a fountain stream spills down the center of this monumental staircase designed by Lawrence Halprin. Its quiet beauty is reminiscent of Rome's Spanish Steps (albeit more narrow). The stream originates at the top of the stairs where Robert Graham's nude female sculpture Source Figure stands atop a cylindrical base. The figure's hands are open, as if to offer water to the city. If you're not inclined to walk up, hop on the escalator parallel to the stairs. Halfway up there's a coffeehouse where you can fortify yourself before tackling the remaining climb.
