It took 19 months and the equivalent of nearly $20 million dollars (in today’s currency) to put the Monastery back together after it was brought over from Spain. In 1953 Time magazine called it “the biggest jigsaw puzzle in history.”

@maggiemae - yes Maggie - this in located in North Miami about 5 minutes in land from the beach. Sort of in the middle of no where - but a wonderful find - it's like going back in time to the 11th century :)
Interesting idea! Looks very beautiful, but I think it would be better that the
Church gave 20 million dollars to the poor people. God would be happier!
Sorry, I was angry. Now I see that Church isn't owner because in 1925 William Randolph Hearst purchased this building. But I still think the same about money.
