The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observatory, will be deployed over twosites in the two hemispheres. Both sites will be equipped with four Large SizeTelescopes (LSTs), which are crucial to achieve the science goals of CTA in the20-200 GeV energy range. Each LST is equipped with a primary tessellated mirrordish of 23 m diameter, supported by a structure made mainly of carbon fibrereinforced plastic tubes and aluminum joints. This solution guarantees lightweight (around 100 tons), essential for fast repositioning to any position inthe sky in <20 seconds. The camera is composed of 1855 PMTs and embeds thecontrol, readout and trigger electronics. The detailed design is now completeand production of the first LST, which will serve as a prototype for theremaining seven, is well underway. In 2016 the first LST will be installed atthe Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on the Canary island of La Palma(Spain). In this talk we will outline the technical solutions adopted tofulfill the design requirements, present results of element prototyping anddescribe the installation and operation plans.
