Description: Even if you're not here to get married, the Versailles Gardens are worth a visit for its 12th Century Greco-Roman sculptures and The Cloisters. The Cloisters stand high on a bluff overlooking the harbour. It is a popular spot for wedding ceremonies especially at night when it's illuminated. Augustinian monks in France originally built it in the 13th century. In the 1920s, William Randolph Hearst bought The Cloisters and had it disassembled and moved to the United States. But it wasn't put back together until 1962 when millionaire Paradise Island developer Huntington Hartford purchased the structure and reconstructed it.
