St Augustine - Zorayda Castle

Zorayda Castle is a scaled down version of the 12th century Moorish Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain. Eccentric millionaire Franklin Smith built it in 1883 for his private home. It contains luxurious interior detail including tropical hardwood furniture and the "Sultan's Den" with a 2,300 year-old rug made from woven cat fur. Over the years, the building has been used as a speakeasy and a movie set.
