Historic Sites
Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
Located along the coast of Biscayne Bay in Coconut Grove, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens features a Renaissance-style villa built in 1914 with over 70 rooms, 10 acres of formal gardens, and endless European extravagance. Once the winter home of wealthy industrialist James Deering, it is now a National Historic Landmark where visitors can immerse themselves in art, history, and Old World culture, not to mention a hardwood hammock forest. The entire place is perfect for capturing unique images, but for the best photo, stand in the gardens and have someone take a picture of you with the iconic Vizcaya villa in the background.
So many beautiful areas to take a photo at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens.
