This is the emblematic building that is part of the first Cuban Immigration to Florida. Now under the Miami Dade College Custody, this building represent to all cubans and descents the freedom of speech and live in United States.

The architecture is beautiful but it is the details that distinguish this building a must see when visiting. One really cool detail is the weather vane on top is a caraval, 16th century sailing ship and symbol of Vizcaya. We had great views as we walked to the Miami Heat game. It is directly across from American Airlines arena.

when you drive round downtown Miami, this tower is very close by and from all the modern buildings around, this one is the only building that has beautiful architecture. It's worth visiting it

Pictures here on Trip Advisor may not do this building justice but if you have a decent camera - this building is a work of art on its own. This building was once home to a former city newspaper. Later this place also served as a processing center for Cuban exiles. Local community leaders have done a great job at... More

I was "processed" here as a Cuban refugees in 1962. It used to be the Miami News building a long time before that. Now it belongs to Miami Dade College or the City, not sure, but the building has new life now and they have interesting exhibits and events. It is a part of Miami history and easy to visit,... More

The Freedom Tower stands proudly in Miami! It is a dedication to the Cuban people who were forced to leave their county and who found freedom and peace in the United States. It is a lovely ediface which reminds us of a difficult period if our history.

the historic tower once used for the cubans that arrive in the '60s, now hosts a museum. Located in the heart of downtown at the entrance of the Port. Good alternative to visit after a cruise

I went to see a art display inside hosted by Miami Dade College. It was very interesting. The lobby section has a very historic feel to it. The second floor (if you can sneak up there) has a beautifully hidden attraction: A huge wall mural. When I saw it, it needed restoration. I hope they restore it someday. It's memorable.... More
