Cool Trip! go for a day or weekend. Ava Maria is a newer town planned by the passed owner and founder of Domino’s Pizza. This was an idea to form a Christian community in South Florida. This town was formed by creating a huge development that includes an array of sub-divisions.

The town was planned with the large Ave Maria Oratory church in the center and this church is worth the visit for anyone who enjoys viewing good art and construction. Okay it is not Saint Patrick’s cathedral but is sure is breathtaking!

Also, this town already has an established four-year university which is a great accomplishment in a short time and adds a nice ambiance to the town.

Because the town started just before the recession its growth was stunned; however, it is now moving along in a nice steady pace.



It you do not think the town itself is worth the two-hour trip from SE Florida, there is a great deal more to do while you are in the Naples area. 2/17/2017
