It may be hard to believe but this resplendent piece of architecture was once a quarry. Tons of rock was mined to build the homes in Miami. Of course, that resulted in an ugly sight after the work was complete. Therefore, coral rock, mosaic and tiles were used to build the incredible pool. The Venetian Pool can easily overwhelm your senses. The Venetian style is beautiful and reminiscent of the opulence of the Roman times. In fact, it is so beautiful and amazing that it has been designated as a historical place. The Venetian Pool contains a number of specular features. You can visit coral rock caves here or watch the waters rush down the waterfalls. There is even an island which is lined with palm trees. There also moorings done in the Venetian style. Over the years, a who's who list of celebrities has visited and has been entertained by the Venetian Pool. This attraction is open throughout the year. Studios of Key West, Key West

Harry Truman isn't the only famous person to have stayed at Key West. The American literary genius Ernest Hemingway also lived and worked at Key West. The Spanish Colonial house he brought in 1931 still stands. He lived in the home till 1940. The house serves as a museum to his life and works now. Hemingway wrote some of his most famous novels here such as "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "A Farewell to Arms". The home also contains a tropical garden that Hemingway maintained. There is also a saltwater pool which Hemingway claimed that nearly pushed him into bankruptcy. His so-called 'last penny' can still be seen pressed into the pool's concrete. Hemingway was also known for his housecat called Snow White which had six toes. He raised that cat lovingly. The descendants of those housecats can still be found on the property.
