gta 5 cities in real life — GTA Games

All locations from GTA V in real life
Many players know that the city of Los Santos in the multi-platform Grand Theft Auto franchise has a prototype. To create locations, the developers were inspired by the views of Los Angeles. Sometimes they even openly copied recognizable sights. Compare how the American city influenced the landscape and architecture of the realities of GTA V and GTA: San Andreas.
Los Santos
The backstory of the metropolis is not covered in Grand Theft Auto. It is known for certain that it is based on Los Angeles. Most of the landmarks have been recreated by the developers with great attention to detail. It is one of the largest cities in the gaming industry. If Los Angeles is the City of Angels, then Los Santos is the City of the Sun. The infrastructure is also completely borrowed from the prototype. The city from “GTA: San Andreas” and “GTA V” are two slightly different cities with the same name. According to the developers, they decided not to transfer the scene to other regions, but to introduce something new into the concept of the scene and take into account the disadvantages of the previous model.
Walk of Fame (Vinewood Walk of Fame)

It repeats the Hollywood landmark of the same name — it is a series of paved roads located on both sides of the street. Its length reaches 15 blocks along Hollywood Boulevard, covers 3 blocks along Vine Street. This is an open display of the cultural heritage of American cinema. Nowadays, more than 2,500 Stars have been installed in the sidewalk slabs with the names of cult actors, directors, musicians, fictional characters and many others who made a great contribution to the history of art and cinema. The Walk of Fame is administered by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. The main source of funding is the Hollywood Historic Trust.
Miriam Turner Overpass

The most recognizable location in Los Santos replicates the Vincent Thomas Bridge in detail. The architectural object serves to connect the port area of the city and Terminal Island. Commissioned in 1963. Named after a member of the San Pedro Legislature. It is one of the links on Route 47, California. The bridge is considered the record holder for length in the state and for the length of the span, which is 460 m, which makes it 76th in the world ranking.
Maze Bank

Copies the building of the largest skyscraper in the United States. US Bank is one of the twenty tallest buildings in the country and concurrently ranks first in a similar rating of the state of California. The height of the building reaches 310 m. A helipad is installed on it. Due to the risks of seismic activity, since the structure is located in a hazardous area, the architects provided for an additional increase in strength. The stock is capable of withstanding an earthquake up to 8.0 on the Richter scale. The skyscraper construction project started in 1987 and was completed two years later. The building has 73 floors and 2 levels of underground parking. Henry Cobb participated in its creation. The process was managed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners. The implementation cost $ 350 million. It does not carry any incremental cultural significance, but it is considered one of the most recognizable buildings in Los Angeles. Galileo Observatory The planetarium, which is very popular with tourists, is called “Griffith Observatory” after its creator. Jenkinson Griffith donated the building to the state for free use. On his finances, the observatory received additional buildings and technical equipment. Foucault’s pendulum is still considered a key element of the exhibition and the property of the museum. It is very popular with tourists.
