Exploring the Oldest Building in Florida | Ancient Spanish Monastery

[@RhettyforHistory]

I love all the old style arches and pillars.

[@1000HolyPlaces]

They're pretty amazing, right? I love the courtyard and statuary.

[@patrickfairchild2330]

We have a similar place up here called Sonnenberg Gardens - an elaborate victorian recreation of Roman and Japan gardens

[@BigDaddysBearCave]

So cool 😎 I love the Spanish architecture 👍🏽

[@Michiganderman71]

Jackie you are a walking history lesson lol man i love your videos

[@SuperEnthused]

Thanks so much, Rob, you are too!!! I love making these kinds of episodes!! :)))

[@MollyFitzBrown]

I was surprised you weren't in St. Augustine :) Very cool place!

[@SuperEnthused]

Right? A surprising find in Miami! Thank you so much, Molly! :)))

[@outdooradventuresandtravel6479]

Thank you for the tour. This place was absolutely stunning. I really enjoyed this video. You did a great job. Thank you again. I loved this....Jeanie

[@KrisK]

Wow beautiful place. Loved the history on it. Great job. Really enjoyed it.

[@kellyintheparks]

I love this so much! Absolutely stunning! We just moved to Daytona Beach from Phoenix and will definitely have to drive down to visit this monastery. We travel quite a bit and always like to visit Catholic churches and historic buildings so this will be perfect. Love it!

[@SuperEnthused]

Congrats on the move, yaaay Florida!! There is so much to see and do here!! Thanks so much!! 💕

[@1000HolyPlaces]

We saw it recently, it is definitely well worth the visit!

This was so awesome!!! I definitely need to come check this place out! Great work!!!

[@SuperEnthused]

Thanks so much, Dev!!! 💕

[@TampaJay]

Wow! That history is incredible and fascinating. 11,000 crates! As a lover of history and especially Florida history, I absolutely loved this. Ace Ventura! "Walk with an open heart and an open mind" in the Labyrinth! Its absolutely beautiful there. Out of all the places you've taken us so far in your area, this is my favorite. The labyrinth sequence was so well done. I love what you dude there. The monastery is as absolutely beautiful and lighting those candles looked like so much fun. The writing in the stone looked Latin or Greek but I'm not an expert lol. "Heads come off sometime" hehe He just needs a pumpkin under his arm. I see you found your thrown there in that beautiful garden hehe #notificationqueen ahh should have hopped in the fountain! @14:34 holy grail?? The scenes that were filmed there in Ace Ventura was represented as TAMPA! fun fact I had to add. This was indeed such a special adventure. You nailed this one! Great video Jackie. Im Enthused!

[@SuperEnthused]

Holy grail for sure!!! You’re the best my friend!!!! Thank you for noticing the labyrinth sequence!! See u sooooon!!

[@eLSewhere50]

Love this Jackie! I agree with Tampa Jay about the labyrinth. It was suspenseful watching, waiting to see what you would do. Very nice! My former next door neighbor made a labyrinth in her back yard. She told me I could use it but I was too shy to just go over there and invade the space. Now I wish I had.

[@MyWestiesTV]

Jackie this video is so incredible you do such an awesome job. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work. Regards Mike

[@SuperEnthused]

Thanks so much, Mike, I’m so glad you liked it! :)))

[@MarkFunJones]

I had no idea the oldest building was in Miami and I love the windows in the beginning that class is so beautiful

[@jeromewagschal9485]

We've been living in Miami since 2012 and this is the first time I hear about it... I'm flabbergasted... We're definitely going to visit it in the next weeks...

[@vikkinicholson2300]

[@zerobalanceadventures1778]

Wow ,what a incredible story. 11,000 crates stone by stone is just insane and just mind boggling to me. shipping a church . Thank you ,really cool and interesting video

[@stephenphillips9392]

Nice Gothic style place. Unbelievable. Over in my area is the Mary hill museum. A man packed up himself and wife and his castle. He then moved from Europe to Washington state. He brought his home so his wife Mary wouldn't be as home sick. All for love. Great vlog, thanks for taking all with you. Have a great day.

[@SuperEnthused]

What a great story, I’ll have to look that place up. Sounds sort of similar but much less tragic than Coral Castle. I have been to Coral Castle many times, but alas, they wouldn’t let me film there.

[@stephenphillips9392]

This is so up my alley. Thanks for all that info at the beginning and I LOVE Labyrinths! So awesome and meditative. I did one on my last official day in AZ. Such beautiful architecture and yes medieval 👍🏻🌷. Thanks for describing the scent. Incense and candles are a lovely scent. That writing looked like a year but I’m not good at deciphering Roman style dates... that helmet was awesome! Reminded me of the Black Knight 😂 (‘tis a flesh wound!). Jackie- another home run!

So the building is the oldest building in Florida but it was originally built in Spain and carried to and set up in North Miami. Ok, so St Augustine is the oldest city in Florida. Got it. My family was shipwrecked on the Florida Keys reef in 1843 so I love Floridas history
