Vizcaya Museum and Gardens Miami Florida

Villa Vizcaya (officially called Vizcaya Museum and Gardens), located just south of downtown Miami and Biscayne Bay, is an enormous villa complex built between 1914 and 1922 that embodies everything that screams Tuscan Italian Renaissance with baroque elements but adapts to it’s subtropical and ocean-side ecosystem and landscape. Officially called the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, the estate was constructed by Biscayne Bay resident and businessman James Deering. In 1910, he travelled all across Europe, in hopes of being inspired for his future villa, as well as collecting art, antiquities, and furnishings to fill the 180-acre estate property.
