It was a bit of a drive, but if this point of interest is remotely interesting to you, I think it's worth it. If you're an active military or veteran, you and your family of 5 can go in for free. We spent about 45 minutes exploring the grounds. The story behind the monastery is quite interesting. I wish there was more information on the pamphlet, to be honest. Will definitely have to do more research.  But the fact you're standing in the presence of this structure that's over 1000 years old is just amazing. Even more so since you don't have to travel to Europe to experience a small part of history.

Beautiful place. Great for pictures, checking out something new, and even having an event.  The monastery is well taken care of and conserved. The architecture of the place, the details in the design of the different things, very nice to see.  The gardens are very big and spaceful. Just like the monastery, it gives you a sense of calm and peace.  It's always nice to be able to be in a historical place that is centuries old.

This is a beautiful spot to visit in the area. Admission is reasonable and staff was very friendly. The grounds are stunning.  It is the oldest building in the western hemisphere! If you’re a history buff you will enjoy the history of the monastery. Originally constructed in Spain and then seized after a social revolution. Almost 100 years later it was sold and brought to the United States by Randolph Hearst. Unfortunately foot and mouth disease was present so the US department of agriculture wouldn’t allow the crates to be unpacked. Hearst had financial trouble causing the crates to be sold in an auction. 19 months and $20 million dollars later the monastery was put back together. Times Magazine called it the biggest jigsaw puzzle in history! If only walls could talk.  Definitely recommend visiting at least once!

Great place to take a date and spend a day with a picnic, being in the midst of history. Loved interacting with the cats, they were super friendly and adorable!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

A monastery  with a pretty intestine  story. The place fee entrance is very affordable.  It has a free parking lot. There's a lot of nature around, and you feel such peace being here. Enjoyable experience.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

I visited with my friends and we enjoyed the history behind this Monastery which was dismantled in Spain and brought to “US” ! A journey through time - 1141 AD to 1950s. Beautiful gardens. Check out the huge banyan tree and don’t miss a lovely Labyrinth nestled in the backVisited onWeekendWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedNot sure

Really cool place with alot of history. I had no idea this used to be at a whole different location  and was moved here very interesting to learn that while on my tour.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Loved the monastery! I visited this place for a wedding! A great experience and venue. Clean, organized and charming. The hallways, the space and the central space are beautiful and reflects history and culture.  I recommend this place for a visit or as a venue for your events.

Awesome visit, it's small enough to be doable in an hour but charming and just really cool from a historic perspective, also I was lucky enough to be the first one to check out the new labyrinth they're working on and it's coming out great!

Nice place to glimpse a bit of history and nature. The exhibits and building are beautiful and the walk through can be fast or you can take your time and enjoy the scenery. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Miami looking for quick places to visit.
