Ancient Spanish Monastery in Miami, Florida (4K Ultra HD)

Ancient Spanish Monastery in Miami, Florida (4K UltraHD) walk tour. Construction of the Monastery of St. Bernard de Clairvaux has begun in the year 1133 AD in Sacramenia, near Segovia in northern Spain. Completed eight years later in 1141, the Monastery was dedicated to the Blessed Mother. Cistercian monks occupied the Monastery for nearly 700 years. After a social revolution in the 1830s​, the Monastery’s Cloisters were seized, sold, and converted into a granary and stable.
In 1925, William Randolph Hearst purchased the Cloisters and the Monastery's outbuildings. The structures were dismantled stone by stone, bound with protective hay, packed in more than 11,000 wooden crates, numbered for identification and shipped to the United States.
It took 19 months and the equivalent of nearly $20 million dollars (in today’s currency) to put the Monastery back together. In 1953 Time magazine called it the biggest jigsaw puzzle in history.

The monastery feels completely like home, but instead of being in a forest or a plain, it's in a tropical(ish) space. So cool.
