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.

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.
