Description
The Freedom Tower at Miami Dade College is more than just a building — it’s a symbol of resilience, history, and cultural identity. Built in 1925 as the headquarters of Miami’s oldest newspaper, the tower became a vital refuge between 1962 and 1974, serving as the Cuban Refugee Center for thousands fleeing political persecution. Today, restored and preserved, it stands as a monument to the Cuban American legacy in Miami and a reminder of the ideals of freedom and opportunity. With its rich history, striking architecture, and cultural significance, the Freedom Tower is a must-see destination in Downtown Miami.
