Castillo de San Marcos, Bastion
One of my favourite forts to visit in the United States, the Spanish-built "Castillo de San Marcos." The fort was originally constructed to help rebuff the numerous and bloody pirate raids to which St. Augustine often fell prey.
It is the only existent 17th century fort in North America, and the fort has never been defeated.
