This structure features a richly ornamented Romanesque pointed arch entrance with chevron and tooth-carved voussoirs characteristic of 12th-century Iberian ecclesiastical architecture. Above the portal is a carved stone relief depicting a central religious figure flanked by angels, set within a rusticated limestone ashlar facade. A small bell tower with a rounded arch opening, classical cornice, and decorative finials crowns the gateway, blending Romanesque and early Renaissance elements — consistent with the Ancient Spanish Monastery of St. Bernard de Clairvaux, originally built in Sacramenia, Spain and later reassembled in North Miami Beach, Florida.
