Villa Zorayda

Villa Zorayda (also known as the Zorayda Castle) is a house at 83 King Street in St. Augustine, Florida. It was inspired by the 12th-century Moorish Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain. It was built by the eccentric Boston millionaire Franklin W. Smith in 1883 as his private home in St. Augustine, Florida, United States. The building and part of Franklin Smith's art and antique collection were sold to Mr. Abraham Mussallem in 1913. On September 23, 1993, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The Villa Zorayda Museum is still currently owned by the Mussallem family and contains a 98% original art and antique collection of Franklin Smith and Abraham Mussallem.
