So, I was just kicked out of Bethesda by the Sea for not having a permit to photograph inside the church. Yesterday when I was here and I inquired about the times I could get in the church to take photos. I was told that I could come any day of the week between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm. There was never any mention of a permit. Apparently I have to apply for a permit and agree to donate at least $100.00 to do so. They must be hard up for money. 🤣

WOW....a must experience for any Classical music lover. my favorite is Vivaldi's Four Seasons so I could not pass this up. Perfectly quaint, small venue - perfect for the "candlelight" show. Musicians were spectacular explaining a little about the piece for the audience. our happened to be inside a Church, so even magical setting. *cudos Fever for that

"The Spanish Gothic church was modeled after the Cathedral at Leon in Spain. The corner stone bears the years 1513, the year Ponce De Leon first landed on Florida’s coastline, and 1925, the year ground was broken on the site. Interesting trivia: Secreted inside that stone is a letter from the King of Spain." - The Palm Beach Post IG: @bbtschurch

I didn't attend a service. In fact I'm not particularly religious, but the Cluett Memorial Garden could turn me into a believer. The botanical garden is only about a third of an acre, but it has gorgeous tropical plants. There is a fountain that flows into a koi pond. Bring quarters to buy fish food! Great place to reflect.

I didn't attend mass here, my wife and I came to see it for the architectural stuffs. Absolutely stunning. Looks like an old fortress mixed with a church from FRANCE. Gorgeous stained glass, concrete work and garden are all amazing. I'm sure mass is nice too.
