The Watts Towers, Towers of Simon Rodia, or Nuestro Pueblo ("our town" in Spanish) are a collection of 17 interconnected sculptural towers, architectural structures, and individual sculptural features and mosaics within the site of the artist's original residential property in Watts, Los Angeles. The entire site of towers, structures, sculptures, pavement and walls were designed and built solely by Sabato ("Simon" or "Sam") Rodia (1879 or 1886 to 1965), an Italian immigrant construction worker and tile mason, over a period of 33 years from 1921 to 1954. The tallest of the towers is 99.5 feet (30.3 m). The work is an example of outsider art (or Art Brut) and Italian-American naïve art.

(de) Les Watts Towers est un ensemble de huit tours édifiées de 1921 à 1954 par Simon Rodia, un immigrant napolitain, à Los Angeles. Elles sont situées dans le quartier de Watts et la plus haute mesure 31 m. Les tours sont composées de câbles d'acier renforcés d'un ciment dans lequel sont incrustés divers objets provenant des décharges publiques (des morceaux de verre et de vaisselle, des coquillages...). Cette œuvre a échappé de peu à la destruction en 1958. En 2010, elle est classée National Historic Landmark.
