There is perhaps no greater symbol of the casual elegance Coral Gables founder George Merrick wanted to achieve than the Venetian Pool. Merrick's uncle, artist Denman Fink and architect Phineas Paist worked together to bring the feel of old Venice to sunny South Florida.
Surrounded by towers (including an observation tower), offices, a café, and other areas including a historical exhibit and meeting rooms, all reflecting the same Venetian grandeur and charm, the pool complex evokes images of a more romantic era.
The 820,000-gallon pool, built from a coral rock quarry, is fed by cool fresh water from the Biscayne Aquifer, and maintained constantly at 76 to 78 degrees. Lushly landscaped with exotic ferns, climbing allemande vines, birds of paradise, stands of bamboo, huge, spreading ficus trees, and royal and coconut palms, the pool features a white sand beach, a pair of cascades and coral caves and grottos for swimmers to explore.
Though the pool is an all-time hit with swimmers, it's also favored by many as a great place for weddings, receptions, banquets, and other special events. Helpful city staff can turn the facility from a pool into an oasis.
