Located 3.45 miles from Days Inn Miami AirportCoral Gables' Historic Venetian Pool, formed from a coral rock quarry in 1923.
This 820,000-gallon pool is fed with cool spring water daily, and features two waterfalls, coral caves and grot tos. The buildings are Venetian-style architecture, designed by Denman Fink, uncle of the founding father of Coral Gables, George Merrick. Together with architect Phineas Paist, they transformed an unsightly rock pit into the world's most beautiful swimming hole, complete with expansive loggias, porticos, a palm-fringed island, beach and cobble-stone bridge.
