@postcardnews

Perhaps Miami’s most poignant architectural landmark, Freedom Tower is a 1925 Mediterranean Revival masterpiece modeled after the Giralda in Seville, Spain. Once the headquarters of the Miami Daily News, it later became the processing center for Cuban refugees in the 1960s, earning it national historic recognition. As detailed by the National Park Service and Condé Nast Traveler, its yellow stucco, elaborate detailing, and storied past make it a symbol of Miami’s immigrant roots and enduring resilience.
