The World Famous Venetian Pool is a unique historic treasure in the City Beautiful on the National Registry of Historic Places 820,000 gallons of spring fresh water As you enter through the wrought iron gates at Venetian Pool, you are immersed in a different era; into times past where the whimsical, romantic approach to architecture prevailed. In 1922, the pool was designed by Coral Gables' founding father, George Merrick; together with his uncle and artist Denman Fink and architect Phineas Paist As you gaze across the aquamarine free-form coral rock lagoon, sunlight shimmers on the water cascading from the twenty five foot tall coral rock cliff. You sense the tranquility of this unique facility; the melodious rhythm of the cascades, and the serenity of the emerald pool soothes you. The twin three-story observation towers comprised of coral rock, brick & stucco with graceful arching doorways & balconies are the primary focus at your vantage point on the front stone walkway. Tropical foliage abounds: a blaze of fuchsia bougainvillea, elegant birds of paradise, and coconut palms galore. Entering into the West Tower you'll notice the cashier's desk with admission, rental & photo shoot fees posted. Looking upward the pecky cypress stairway winds to the lifeguards in-residence apartment, a private area.
