And last but not least is The Venetian Pool. This is absolutely the most beautiful public pool I have ever seen. The pool was created from a coral rock quarry in 1923 by Denman Fink and Phineas Paist. It has pink stucco towers, candy-cane Venetian poles, caves, a cobblestone bridge and waterfalls that surround the clear spring-fed waters. The pool was originally one of the most fashionable places to hang out in Coral Gables.
