Surrounding the Fort - HWW

Another clue to my theme of the week. Castillo de San Marcos National Monument. Thank you for your comments and for those who made a guess yesterday! Another clue: This name references the raids that took place on Florida's Gulf Coast during the 17th century? I am looking for a particular name having to do with pirates.

 

The Castillo was originally built to act not only as a refuge for the townspeople but also as a military warehouse. Construction began in 1672 and is one of the oldest standing structures in North America.

 

Happy Wall Wednesday!
