Resolve your doubts about Ancient Spanish Monastery Miami | The mystical labyrinth

The magnate William Randolph Hearst bought the monastery in 1925, disassembled it into 11,000 boxes and shipped it to the USA. After his death, the boxes remained in a warehouse until they were purchased and rebuilt in their current location in 1954.
Yes, the monastery is one of the most sought-after locations in Miami for weddings and photo shoots due to its unique Romanesque and Gothic architecture on the continent. Advance reservation is required for any private event.
The cloisters and chapter house date from the 12th century (1133-1141), making them some of the oldest man-made structures in the Western Hemisphere.
During the 2026 World Cup, the Monastery will offer "Silence Tours" and exhibitions about the historical connection between Spain and the Americas, serving as a cultural oasis for international fans visiting the nearby Hard Rock Stadium.

The soul of this experience

The Monastery is the perfect example of “Cultural Translocation” under a Solarpunk lens. For Space Journey, this site symbolizes “Resilience of Memory”: the ability of structures and stories to survive transoceanic voyages and adapt to radically different climates. Its ancient stone cloisters, now surrounded by oaks and palm trees, are a testament that technical and spiritual beauty knows no boundaries. Here, the silence of medieval monks merges with the song of tropical birds, creating a space for contemplation that defies the linearity of time.

What will you find along the way?

Step through the heavy wooden portals and feel the temperature drop between the limestone walls that have breathed for almost a thousand years. Tour the Medieval Cloisters, where Gothic and Romanesque arches cast complex shadows on the stone floor. Let yourself get lost in the Garden of the Cloisters, a space where the geometry of faith surrenders to the controlled anarchy of bougainvillea and ferns. Observe the coats of arms and carved capitals that have withstood the passage of centuries and the salinity of the coast. It is an immersion in the “Utopia of Silence”, where each step in the stone labyrinth takes you further away from the noise of the 21st century.

Security level

Level: Secure (Institutional/Religious). The monastery is currently an active Episcopal church and a carefully managed historic site. The environment is extremely peaceful and safe for all visitors. It is requested to keep a low tone of voice and respect the worship areas. The outdoor areas have safe paths, although caution should be taken on the ancient stone paving which can be slightly uneven in some sections of the cloister.

Accessibility and mobility

Grade: Silver. Most of the cloisters and main gardens are wheelchair accessible via ramps and flat surfaces. However, some interior rooms and backyard areas may have small steps or gravel ground. Adapted public toilets are available near the reception area. It is recommended to contact staff for assistance on specific accessibility routes.

Golden Spot Tips

The North Wing of the Cloister. Look for the perspective where the Gothic arches align perfectly with the large oak trees outside. At this point, the afternoon light creates a play of chiaroscuro that highlights the texture of the centuries-old stone and the intense green of the tropical garden. It is the perfect place to capture the essence of this European “graft” on American soil, where Gothic history merges with the exuberance of Miami.
