Just an hour drive from our place, Castillo de San Marcos National Monument is a good travel destination for those who loves to touch based with the history. This place is known as the oldest masonry forth in the US.
The Castillo de San Marcos National Monument is a significant structure located in Saint Augustine, Florida. It is constructed by the Spanish in 1672. Did you know that the fort was built of coquina? It is a type of shell stone indigenous to the area and quarried from Anastasia Island. The same material used when they build the Fort Matanzas.
The Fort is constructed by the Spanish to protect the city from the British.
Castillo de San Marcos has protected the city of Saint Augustine for more than 300 years.
If you visit this place in the afternoon, the view is totally spectacular.
If you visit Disney World and you are looking for another place to hang out, check this location for an Educational trip that I am sure your family will enjoy.

That's funny because I saw this one on television while watching Ghost Adventures. When I saw the title of your post I recognized the name, then it hit me that I saw it on television. It would be awesome to see it for real. That's when I learnd it was made out of some type of shell stone, which said can withstand harsh conditions. We were in Florida like 2 years ago, but we never really explored a lot of places. Thanks for sharing! Visiting via TT.
