From there, we’ll explore the area between 12th and 13th Streets, uncovering the fascinating and relatively recent origins of Miami Beach. Along the way, we’ll stop by one of the most spectacular landmarks in the neighborhood—Casa Casuarina, the former residence of legendary designer Gianni Versace, now one of the city’s most famous attractions. Continuing south toward South Pointe, we’ll pass the historic Beach Patrol Headquarters, an emblematic example of Miami’s signature Art Deco design. As we walk, we’ll discover the stories behind the most representative buildings of this architectural movement that defines the heart of the city.
