America Begins Here
Built by the Spanish in St. Augustine to defend Florida and the Atlantic trade route, Castillo de San Marcos National Monument preserves the oldest masonry fortification in the continental United States and interprets more than 450 years of cultural intersections.

This is a great place to get an understanding of our earliest history. Having changes hands many times, it highlights the struggles of who was going to have control of the new land. We spent the morning exploring the Fort and the surrounding area. The movie was well done and explained the timeline and reason this fort was so important to Spain in keeping control of this new land. We spent a half a day here and we combined this with an afternoon trip to Fort Matanzas NM.
