Question: Where in Florida is the only swimming pool listed on the National Register of Historic Places?
Answer: The Venetian Pool in Coral Gables
The largest freshwater swimming pool in the U.S., the Venetian Pool in Coral Gables, is a one-of-a-kind water feature that is emptied and refilled daily during the summer to keep the waters fresh and clean. Built in 1923 out of the remains of an abandoned coral rock quarry, the public pool was modeled after a Venetian grotto, with the intention of bringing a piece of Mediterranean style to the U.S.
