Well, Miami has not only modern buildings - there are quite enough of sacred attractions in the city. The most important religious monument is Gesu Church dating back 1896. It is considered to be the oldest Catholic shrine in Miami. Besides its attractive architecture, the building is also fascinating with its rich interior decoration. Another noteworthy shrine is Trinity Episcopal Cathedral that was completed back in 1925. The architect was Harold Hastings Mundy, who combined Romanesque and Byzantine elements with the Renaissance style to create a unique work of architectural art.
Miami City Hall is also interesting for tourists as an architectural monument. Built in 1934, it has served as a terminal of the International Pan American Airport until 1954. Due to the destruction of the old city hall, it was decided to reequip the terminal for the government's needs. The Venetian Causeway, a picturesque bridge with two drawbridges connecting Miami and Miami Beach, gives the city a unique charm. It was built in 1925 and restored in 1999. The Brickell Avenue Bridge opened in 1929 is of interest too. Its main attraction is The Pillar of History that was erected by the Cuban sculptor Manuel Carbonell. The monument depicts scenes from the pre-colonial past of Miami.
