Step back in time at Miami's historic 12th-century medieval Spanish monastery

Originally built in 1141 in Segovia, Spain, the Ancient Spanish Monastery was dismantled brick-by-brick and reassembled in North Miami Beach. Today, it stands as a serene architectural gem surrounded by lush, peaceful gardens. Visitors can stroll through historic cloisters, admire medieval stone carvings, and experience a quiet sanctuary within South Florida.

History

Originally constructed in 1133 in Sacramenia, Spain, the monastery was disassembled in the 20th century and shipped to the United States. It was reassembled in North Miami Beach in the 1950s, becoming a remarkable testament to historical preservation and cultural heritage.
