Vizcaya: Miami, Fla.
Located on Biscayne Bay, Vizcaya is considered the best example of a Renaissance garden in the United States. James Deering James Deering
The formal gardens have the traditional features of an Italian garden including water displays, sculptured grass beds, classical statuary, decorative balustrades, topiary-style trees and shrubs.
In 1952, Miami-Dade County purchased Vizcaya and opened it as a museum. Through extensive restoration, the villa’s remaining 50 acres are back to the way they appeared during Deering’s ownership.
