If you’re one who is interested to know the history of specific cities, Ave Maria has quite an interesting one. This city in Florida is an unincorporated community that was essentially founded by the Ave Maria Development Company in the beginning of 2005. The community was led by the Roman Catholic philanthropist Tom Monaghan, more popularly known as the founder of the famous chain, Domino’s Pizza.

One of the most popular tourist destinations in town is the famous Ave Maria church. Essentially planned and placed in the center of town, this church features the beautiful 30-foot (9 m) sculpture of the Annunciation. The importance of this comes with what it truly illustrates: the Angel Gabriel greeting Virgin Mary with the words “Ave Maria”, that directly translate to ‘Hail Mary’. Inside the Oratory also features the widely appreciated “Good Shepherd” sculpture that was carved in marble and brought in from Cave Michelangelo in Carrara, Italy.

For all local residents and students, the church serves as an integral part of this remarkable town. The beautiful building is known for its distinctive steel structure, most of which is exposed both internally and externally. Since the architecture is truly remarkable, people from all over the country fly to Ave Maria to see it. The building serves as the home for the whole Ave Maria Catholic Church, which is one of the most important and significant places in town. The intricate details put into the construction of the church lead it to receiving an architectural award and recognition of an American institution in 2008.

If commerce is what sparks your interest, it is safe to say that Ave Maria is home to various businesses and institutions. Since the town was founded by a businessowner himself, the importance given to new startups is significant here.

Moreover, the residents of this community are greatly united. Every month, a local magazine known as Ave Maria Neighbors features all the significant events that happened including stories from local families, a calendar of important events as well as matters of wide interest in the community.
