Historic St. Augustine is a treasure trove of things to see and do. History lovers have remarkably preserved historical sites to explore. Castillo de San Marco, a Spanish fortification completed in 1695, the Fountain of Youth Archaeological site, documenting the presence of indigenous people and the first Spanish settlement, and Mission Nombre de Dios, the first landing place of Spanish explorers in 1565, are fascinating insights into the discovery of America. Historic house museums are detailed time-travels through the fledgling settlement during Spanish and British occupations of the 1700s. The opulence of America’s Gilded Age is documented in Henry Flagler’s palatial hotels and ornate house museums.
