Ancient Spanish Monastery
North Miami Beach, Florida
Authentic 12th-century medieval stone cloisters and vaulted Gothic archways rest quietly surrounded by sub-tropical Florida palms.
Dating back to the twelfth century in Segovia, Spain, this Cistercian monastery was dismantled block by block and carefully reassembled in North Miami Beach. Weathered limestone walls, soaring Romanesque arches, and carved heraldic emblems frame an open-air cloister courtyard filled with lush tropical palms and bougainvillea. Soft daylight filters through ancient stone colonnades, providing atmospheric sheltered corridors for ceremonies and private dining steeped in eight centuries of Old World history.

What couples say
The Ancient Spanish Monastery in North Miami Beach is a one-of-a-kind wedding setting—a genuine 12th-century Spanish Romanesque cloister that was dismantled and reassembled in Florida by William Randolph Hearst, offering an authentic European monastery experience in an unexpected subtropical context. Planning publications describe ceremonies here as magical and serene, feeling like a European fairy tale without leaving the United States. While formal wedding platform aggregations are limited given the venue's unique church-managed status, its architectural pedigree and romantic atmosphere are unrivaled in the region.
