St Armands Circle
St. Armands Circle is a major shopping, dining and entertainment area. Almost 100 years old and originally an island in Sarasota Bay, it was purchased in 1893 by Charles St. Armand for $21 for over 130 acres.
Today, it is still called St. Armands Key and is considered the “Jewel of Sarasota”. The island was separated from the mainland, but Ringling financed a bridge to connect Sarasota to St. Armands. He named it the “John Ringling Causeway” and was the first to drive across it in 1926.
During the day, “The Circle” is an outdoor shopping mecca, a place to meet friends for lunch, book a massage at a spa, or spend a day on the white sand on Lido Beach, just blocks away. In the evening, the lights twinkle in the trees, and it becomes a gathering place. It is the site for outdoor performances, a slow stroll with an ice cream cone, or a coveted sidewalk table at one of the legendary restaurants that make up the outer ring of the inner roundabout. Both during the day and at night the energy at St. Armands Circle is always magical.
The Ringling Museum
The Museum of Art is an extraordinary place with a spectacular collection of art. From the Rubens Galleries to Joseph’s Coat: a skyspace by James Turrell, visitors can view the permanent collection’s treasures, other fascinating exhibitions from around the world and the classical sculptures that fill its grand courtyard. Now as the State Art Museum of Florida, this facilities the cultural complex has evolved in an awe-inspiring artistic center originally built by famed circus impresario John Ringling as a legacy to the citizens of Florida.
In 1925, John Ringling decided to build an art museum, both as a legacy meant to outlast his business interests and as a memorial to his wife Mable and himself. By sharing the arts of Europe with the people of Florida, Ringling sought to educate and encourage curiosity for the wider world.
