the Venetian Pool, located in Coral Gables Florida

Did you know that the Venetian Pool, located in Coral Gables Florida, is like no other aquatic facility in the Country? The pool was created in 1923 from a coral rock quarry containing 820,000 gallons and is fed by an underground aquifer. In the spring and summer the pool is filled and drained daily.

The Venetian Pool was opened in 1924 and then called the “Venetian Casino” and was part of George Merrick’s grand plan to create a city with a sense of true hometown living.

With the efforts of George Merrick, artist Denman Fink and architect Phineas Paist, the pool became a paradise which  todate remains included in the National register of Historic places.
