Tourists taking pictures in front of Casa Casurina, Gianni Versace's former home.

---

Casa Casuarina aka the Versace House was built in 1930 and modeled after the Alcazar de Colon in Santo Domingo, a residence built in 1510 by the son of Christopher Columbus and reputedly the oldest existing house in the western hemisphere. Gianni Versace purchased the building in 1992 for $ million. After receiving city approval, he demolished the hotel next door, and a two-story, 6,100-foot addition was built, transforming it into Versace's Miami Beach house.
