Discovered in 1998, during an archaeological survey of a construction site, the Miami Circle or the Brickell Point is the only known prehistoric architecture in the US. The site features a perfect circle about 38 feet (11 meters) and 24 mysterious holes carved into the limestone. Research suggests that the site could date back to between 1800 and 2000 years. Often nicknamed the Stonehenge of America, the versions about its origin range from aliens, to native Indians to sewage systems. The Miami Circle was declared a part of the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2002 and enlisted as U.S. National Historic Landmark in 2009.
Located in a nicely landscaped street median in Little Havana, the Cuban Memorial Plaza commemorates Cuba's struggle for freedom over the years. With a 16 foot long (5 meters) map of the island of Cuba, statues of the Virgin Mary, Tony Izquierdo, and monuments dedicated to the Bay of Pigs invasion, and the Cuban Independence Wars, this memorial provides a glimpse at the Cuba's struggle throughout history.

The Flagler Worker's House also known as the Palm Cottage was built in 1897 and is one of the last of its kind to be linked with railroad tycoon Henry M. Flagler and the founder of Palm Beach. It was used as a home for the workers who were building his Royal Palm Hotel. It is also one of the remaining few Folk Victorian style structures in the city. This fine, yellow facade, wooden framed building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
