Описание к видео Fort San Juan | NC Now | UNC-TV

This year marks the 450th anniversary of the founding of Fort San Juan, which occurred in January 1567. One month earlier, Spanish army captain, Juan Pardo and 125 men set out from La Florida on a mission to forge a route to the Spanish silver mines in northern Mexico. During this expedition he built six forts between the coast of South Carolina and western Tennessee. In the mid 1980’s archeologists began researching the expedition route, and in 2013, they discovered one of these Forts at a native town near Morganton, North Carolina.
