From November 30 – January 4, 2020 Historic City News readers are invited to join the Villa Zorayda Museum for their 10th Annual “Candlelight Tours” of the Museum which are offered on select evenings during St. Augustine’s “Nights of Lights” Celebration.
The Villa Zorayda Museum, located at 83 King Street in St. Augustine, showcases beautiful Christmas decorations for the upcoming Holiday Season. A spectacular Christmas Tree decorated in the colors of the Zorayda – red and gold – is located center stage in the central “Court of Lions”.
The Museum features the priceless antique collections of both previous owners, Franklin Smith and A.S. Mussallem. It was built in 1883 by Smith and it set a precedent for architecture in St. Augustine during the GIlded Era.
Discover over 100 candles aglow throughout the Museum as docents lead you on your tour of the historic former home. These specialty tours have become one of the most popular things to do during St. Augustine’s Nights of Lights Celebration.
Refreshments of homemade Christmas cookies and punch are included with Select Candlelight Tour Dates.
Adult admission is $21.00 and Children 7 – 12 are $9.00.
Refreshments included. No charge for children ages 4 – 6.
Tours which will not include refreshments will be offered at a reduced rate of $18.00 for Adults and Children 7 – 12 are $8.00. No charge for children ages 4 – 6.
