The Castillo de San Marcos (St. Mark's Castle) is a stone fort adjacent to the old town of Saint Augustine, Florida. Early in the 16th century, Spanish Conquistadors had claimed Florida for Spain, but there was no further action until 1565. In that year, a Spanish expedition founded the town of Saint Augustine and the fort of San Marcos. Wooden defenses gave way to a stone castle built in 1671-1695. The castle was modified in the 18th and 19th centuries, to become the structure we see today. I visited this place on May 10, 2016.
El Castillo de San Marcos es un fuerte de piedra adyacente al casco antiguo de San Agustín, Florida. A principios del siglo XVI, los conquistadores españoles reclamaron la Florida para España, pero no hubo más acción hasta 1565. En ese año, una expedición española fundó la ciudad de San Agustín y el fuerte de San Marcos. Las defensas de madera dieron paso a un castillo de piedra construido en 1671-1695. El castillo fue modificado en los siglos XVIII y XIX, para convertirse en la estructura que vemos hoy. Visité este lugar el 10 de mayo de 2016.
This room was the sleeping quarters for many soldiers of the Castillo de San Marcos, which is a fortress established during the late 1600's in St. Augustine to protect the city from invaders. This was one of my favorite shots from the trip.
