Miami is often called the "Magic City," and this opulent Italian Renaissance-style villa is its fairy-tale residence. Built for industrialist James Deering in 1916, Vizcaya Palace is as ornate as a Fabergé egg and brimming with 15th- to 19th-century furniture, tapestries, paintings, and decorative arts. The seaside grounds, which front Biscayne Bay, feature elegant gardens, fountains, sculptures, pools, canals, trails, and a charming Florentine gazebo.
