America Begins Here
A monument not only of stone and mortar but of human determination and endurance, the Castillo de San Marcos symbolizes the clash between cultures which ultimately resulted in our uniquely unified nation. Still resonant with the struggles of an earlier time, these original walls provide tangible evidence of America’s grim but remarkable history.
21 Nov 2013This is a great place to understand our early history. Having changed hands many times it highlights the struggle to establish who was going to have control of this new land. You can plan to spend at least half a day here, combine this with a trip to Ft Matanzas NM.
