Lonely Planet review for Dade County Courthouse

If you end up on trial here, at least you’ll get a free tour of one of the most imposing courthouses in America. When Miami outgrew its first courthouse, it moved legal proceedings to this neoclassical icon, built between 1925 and 1929 for $4 million. It’s a very…appropriate building; if structures were people, the courthouse would definitely be a judge. Some useless trivia: back in the day, the top nine floors served as a ‘secure’ prison, from which more than 70 prisoners escaped.
