Coral Gables Congregational Church

Weddings, readings, and music

3010 De Soto Boulevard
Miami, FL 33134
United States
+1 305 448 7421

This lovely Spanish-style church, located across the street from the Biltmore Hotel, has the distinction of being the very first church built in Coral Gables. Although modern churches, and especially congregational churches, are traditionally austere, here wooden pews, altar candelabra, chandeliers, and side arches signal the lush standards of a different era. The intimate setting that results makes this church a favorite site for weddings. In addition, the church hosts author readings sponsored by Books & Books and features a wonderful musical series.

Call for the schedule of events and additional information.

Holocaust Memorial

Stunning and powerful 1933-1945 Meridian Avenue
Miami, FL 33139
United States
+1 305 538 1663
http://www.holocaustmmb.org/ Conceived in 1984 by a group of Miami's holocaust survivors, this memorial was dedicated in 1990. Although it is a solemn reminder of crimes against humanity, it is also an inspiration that this kind of genocide never happens again. The Sculpture of Love and Anguish, the focal point of the site, overwhelms the visitor, as do the thousands of victims' names etched into the luminous black granite Memorial Wall. A memorable experience a few blocks from Miami Beach Convention Center. Admission is free.

Temple Israel

Historical place of worship 137 Northeast 19th Street
Miami, FL 33132
United States
+1 305 573 5900
http://www.templeisrael.net/ Established over 75 years ago, this downtown synagogue was the first Reform congregation founded in south Florida. Recently renovated, the stately and beautiful building symbolizes the reverence and historical importance the temple holds for the community at large, as well for the large and growing congregation itself. The temple provides adult education, an early childhood development center, religion classes, special events, a Judaic gift shop, and live radio broadcasts on WAXY 790-AM and WJNA 1230-AM.

Trinity Episcopal Cathedral

The first founded cathedral 1545 North Bayshore Drive
Miami, FL 33132
United States
+1 305 374 3372
http://www.trinitymiami.org/ Trinity Episcopal Church was founded on June 10, 1896, six weeks prior to the incorporation of the city of Miami itself. It began as a mere wooden, one-room place of worship, the very first within Miami's original city limits, and was rebuilt into an imposing two-story stone structure in 1912. The magnificent Romanesque cathedral that stands today was completed in 1925. The Cathedral, with Mediterranean architecture inspired by the Roman Catholic Church of Saint Giles, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
