Additional Information
Introduction
The Freedom Tower in Miami allows you to trace the exodus of Cubans to the US during the cold war and learn about this impressive monument to the 1920's real estate boom. The Freedom Tower was donated by the Pedro Martin family in 2005 to Miami Dade College and designated a national landmark in 2008. The Freedom Tower is considered one of the best architectural achievements in Florida. Serving as a reception station and medical facility for refugees from 1962 to 1975, the building presents a memorial to Cuban immigration. It is also a premier venue for notable events and exhibitions, such as the Madeleine Albright Collection and the works of famous artists like Dali.

The Freedom Tower is a landmark of Miami. It has a century-old history. It was once a government office building. You can visit the Freedom Tower. But when we passed by, it was not open and just took photos.
For many years, this building has been the "Cuba Refugee Center", where Cuban political exiles gather for freedom. As a processing center, there are not only doctor inspections, but also other private services, but also provide information in other fields to the US government.
Except for those who have come here because they have a special liking for this historical building, you may think that this journey is too short and can not be called a scenic spot depicting the local history with deep and dark colors. It was almost built as a cheap short-term exhibition, which was then forgotten. The area with art exhibitions has only recently been renovated but this area is small. The area around the tower is not very safe. I suggest not to park your car on the street. It is best to park in a paid parking space, so that you will feel safe from your car being damaged.
Free museum that showcases images of the history of those who fled Cuba. Wonderful building as well.
Explore remnants from the Cuban exodus at The Freedom Tower. On the first floor, an exhibition of artifacts from the first exiles is displayed. View old suitcases, hand made dresses, guayaberas (the typical linen, four-pocketed Cuban shirt) and, even, teddy bears, which comforted children on the voyage. There are many black and white photographs of the immigrants as well. They came to the Freedom Tower to be processed upon their arrival in Miami. On the upper floors of the tower, there are museums of art. One of my favorite pieces of cultural history is "The Sleep of Dream Producers Monsters" from Goya.
