Hello everyone! Another week for Tuesday Travels eh? (*v*) This week, I will be showing some of the photos that I took while we were inside Castillo de San Marcos National Monument.
This National Monument is the oldest masonry fort in the United States located in the city of St. Augustine, Florida.
This place was constructed by the Spanish when Florida was a Spanish territory.
During the twenty year period of British possession, the fort was renamed Fort St. Mark then, when Florida became a U.S. territory in 1821, this place was renamed Fort Marion.
The name Castillo de San Marcos was restored by Congress in 1942.
Here I am with hubby, taking a souvenir shots at the entrance of Castillo de San Marcos.
It was in the afternoon, the tourists gathered at the courtyard, waiting for the re-enactment of the staff in costume.
The picture below was taken while I was at the Bastion area.
The view at the courtyard.
Here we are taking another souvenir photo at the courtyard.
Yes, this place was featured in the show Ghost Adventures, check it out in You Tube.
