Ancient Spanish Monastery
St. Bernard de Clairvaux Church
A monastery cloister built in the 12th century in Segovia, Spain, which newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst had dismantled and shipped to America, later reassembled in Miami.
This cloister originally belonged to the Monastery of Santa María de Ovila in Segovia Province, Spain, which was built in the 12th century. In 1925, newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst bought it, had it taken apart into thousands of crates and shipped to the United States. It sat in storage for many years before being reassembled in North Miami Beach in the 1950s. It now serves as an Episcopal church, where the Romanesque arcades and tropical courtyard form a striking contrast. Check the official website for ticket prices. It may be closed to the public during weddings and religious events, so confirm before you go.
