📜 About Castillo de San Marcos

Located in the heart of St. Augustine, Florida, the Castillo de San Marcos is the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States. Built by Spanish settlers in the late 1600s to defend Florida’s Atlantic coast, its walls of coquina limestone have withstood sieges, storms, and centuries of history. Now a National Monument, the Castillo remains a powerful reminder of America’s colonial past and the enduring spirit of its oldest city.
