Historic Miami Circle a Footprint of History


The Historic Miami Circle is a nationally significant archaeological property that is the former location of the primary village of the Tequesta People.  The Tequesta’s were considered one of the first Native North American groups encountered by Juan Ponce de Leon in 1513.  



In 1999 the 38-foot circle was bought by $26.7 in million by the taxpayers to restore it for public use.  The site can be accessed by walking down the drive-way of Icon Brickell or through Brickell Park (by  Icon's south tower) along the bay walk by Icon Brickell. 

Historic Miami Circle sits adjacent to Icon Brickell's north tower at the mouth of the Miami River.
