Join us this upcoming Holiday Season for the Villa Zorayda’s 9th Annual “Candlelight Tours” of the Museum which are offered on select evenings during St. Augustine’s “Nights of Lights” Celebration.
The Villa Zorayda Museum is beautifully decorated for the Holidays with a spectacular Christmas Tree located center stage in the "Court of Lions". Over 100 candles are aglow throughout the Museum as our docents lead you on your tour of this historic former home.
The Zorayda was built as a winter residence in 1883 by Franklin W. Smith, a merchant and architect from Boston. The incredible architecture of the building was inspired by the Moorish designed Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain. The Zorayda has had a lively past. In the early 1900s it became a sophisticated Club with dining, dancing, and gambling. Today, the magnificent architecture and art collection of both the 2 owners are on display.
