Casillo de San Marcos

As a kid, Jeff always wanted to visit Castillo de San Marcos (a 1672 Spanish fort) at St Augustine, Florida(the oldest American city).

We got to go and had a great history lesson. The fort stood firm against English attacks and helped Spain to hold Florida for many years. During the American Revolution, it became a British stronghold. Later, it became a battery in the US coastal defense system.
