The City of Coral Gables, Florida,
incorporated in 1925, is America's first comprehensively planned city whose
predominantly Mediterranean Revival character was inspired by
Spanish and Italian architecture. Monuments centuries old became
the inspiration for both residential and commercial
architecture, and "antique" gateways reminiscent of ancient
triumphal arches, which brought the visitor to an impression
of a community steeped in tradition. Today the citizens of
Coral Gables pay close attention to the monuments of
yesterday and have provided for the identification and
protection of its unique heritage through the enactment of an
Historic Preservation ordinance. Truly a diamond of Miami-Dade
County, Coral Gables is located in the heart of the county
featuring broad, tree-lined avenues, fountains, golf courses
and architecturally interesting villages. It is a heartbeat of
multinational business, historic preservation and cutting edge
technologies both in residential and commercial real estate.
