The oldest building in the Western Hemisphere dates from 1133 and is located in Miami? The Spanish Monastery Cloisters were first erected in Segovia, Spain for St. Bernard de Clairvaux, an influential church figure. Centuries later, newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst purchased and brought them to America in pieces. The carefully numbered stones were quarantined for years until they were finally reassembled on the present site in 1954. It has often been used as a backdrop for weddings, movies, and commercials and is a very popular tourist attraction.Cost: Admission $4.50 adults, $2.50 seniors and students with ID, $1 children 3-12Opening Hours: Mon-Fri 10am-4pm; Sun 1-5pmAddress16711 W.
