Venetian Pool
Coral Gables, otherwise known as The City Beautiful, is a community in the greater Miami area that is considered a 'rare pearl', this area set aside as an International City featuring over 20 consulates and foreign affairs offices. The area also features tons of shopping and dining experiences within its confines, gorgeous Medieval Revival Architecture, and, of course, the great Venetian Pool.
The Venetian Pool is a 4-acre historic swimming pool that holds 280,000 gallons of spring water from an underground aquifer. Each night during the spring and summer seasons this pool is drained, which takes about 3.5 hours, then cleaned and refilled for the next day, always providing a clean, cool, refreshing dip for visitors!
The pool is overall unlike any other in the country, made entirely of coral rock quarry. It was first built in 1923 and has since then seen hundreds of thousands of visitors, this being one of the community's main attractions. Enjoy additional features as well, such as the 2 historic lookout towers, 2 waterfalls, cave-like grotto, loggias, porticos, palm trees, and bridge!
You certainly won't regret a visit to the Venetian Pool!
