Monuments Throughout Miami

By Celine Moore


There are five great monuments in Miami that are noted on the U.S. list of Nationwide Historic Landmarks, a superb tool for anyone who is trying to find unique places to go visit and has a wish to discover more about the history of the United States.

Freedom Tower

Maybe the most well known of the Miami monuments is Freedom Tower. Often referred to as the Ellis Island of Miami, Freedom Tower is where many Cubans came to immigrate to the United States. The tower was given to Miami Dade College and is now used often to host art exhibits. This landmark is situated in the middle of Miami is quaint and a perfect spot for photos.

Miami Biltmore Hotel and Private Club

The Miami Biltmore is a luxury unlike all others. The spa services, the perfectly maintained golf course, acclaimed dining experiences (for example Palme d'Or, which was ranked best overall experience by Zagat), the Biltmore Culinary Academy (where celebrity cooks give hands on lessons to guests), all mix to give an elegant and refined experience for any traveler.

Ferdinand Magellan-United States Car No. 1

One of the Miami monuments that's at the Gold Coast Railroad Museum is the Ferdinand Magellan, the first Presidential Rail Car. While the inside of the train is now not available for public viewing the lengthy history of this auto makes it a very important part of American History. This auto was one of the last private train cars that were ever built and it is the sole indivdual passenger car on the list of National Historic Landmarks. The Gold Coast Railroad Museum is an inexpensive and engaging place to swiftly learn much about American History. Anyone with a healthy interest in trains will have an excellent time having a hands-on experience with the retired train cars and a great opportunity to ride some of the trains that've been restored so they can be viewed by the general public.

The Miami Circle At Brickell Point Site

This landmark is an archaeological locale of the Tequesta Indians from 2000 years back. A perfect circle cut into the rock is a site to witness. The park is quiet and wide open, featuring a unique waterfront and an ideal place for a a relaxing afternoon inside the busy city. This is one of the more recent monuments in Miami to be added to the National Register of Historic Places. Tours of the burial sites are guided by the Historic Museum of Southern Florida.

Vizcay Museum And Gardens

Monuments in Miami like the Vizcay Museum and Gardens, give the culture of Miami its unique flavor. This museum belongs to Miami-Dade county and the beautiful design, architecture and plants make it a stunning location for beginner and experienced photographers alike. Vizcay Museum And Gardens are full of stunning unique and exotic plants that are maintained marvellously. The open air house has been the home of one or two influential Americans over the years and renovated many times with luxurious accouterments each time.
