Coral Gables: The city's first church and the story of the Venetian Pool

Ways To Subscribe

One of Coral Gables’ earliest buildings still stands — but its future is uncertain. As the city marks its centennial, we explore the history of a church at the center of a preservation fight — and how it’s redefining its mission for the community today.

Also in this episode: Before the Venetian Pool became a landmark, it was a coral rock quarry. We uncover the often-overlooked role of Bahamian workers who helped build Coral Gables — and laid the foundation for one of South Florida’s most iconic cities.

From Palm Beach County to Miami-Dade, 11 cities are celebrating their centennials in 2025 and 2026. SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ä± News' series "History We Call Home" spotlights the moments, ideas and people that made these cities part of our community's fabric over the past century.
