The Granada Entrance to the city of Coral Gables, Florida, at Granada Boulevard and Tamiami Trail/Southwest 8th Street. A stucco gate with a terracotta roof arches over the road. The gate is flanked by large palm trees and flower beds.
Coral Gables is just south of Miami, and the Granada Entrance is among its many historic landmarks. Coral Gables was founded by George Merrick in 1925 and is notable as one of the first fully planned communities to include both residential and commercial areas. The architectural style is Mediterranean Revival. Coral Gables was one of the first U.S. cities to establish a historic preservation ordinance, in 1973, and has designated the Granada Entrance a local landmark.
