16th St Murals (Westside - S Wood to S Canal)

16th St Murals (Westside - S Wood to S Canal) is an impressive street art gallery stretching along a two-mile-long railroad embankment in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood.

These colorful murals, created since the 1970s, were originally a form of protest against the Vietnam War and a way to unite the Mexican-American community.

Today, you can admire the works of both local and international artists, depicting a variety of themes - from Mexican heritage to urban life. It is a unique place where art blends with the history and culture of the local community.
