Hollywood Sign, Landmark in Los Angeles, California
The Hollywood Sign is a large-scale outdoor sign that spells out 'HOLLYWOOD' in 45-foot tall white letters.
Originally created in 1923 as an advertisement for local real estate development, the sign has since become a cultural icon.
The Hollywood Sign represents not only the city of Los Angeles but also, more broadly, the American film industry.
The sign is located on Mount Lee, in the Hollywood Hills area of the Santa Monica Mountains.
Despite being one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world, the Hollywood Sign is not accessible to the public.
