The fascinating history of St. Augustine Florida.

Can you believe the fascinating history of St. Augustine in #Florida? The now beautiful beach town has an incredible past. The town is the oldest continually inhabited town dating back to 1565 when the Spanish first discovered it. The land was discovered around the time of the feast of Saint Augustine. The town would be the center for #Spain in the New World and Spanish Florida. As the town grew, so did their problems. They would be attacked and burnt to the ground by the British several times. They would also face off with pirates and some violent Native American Tribes. Eventually, they would be forced to build Castillo de San Marcos a fort to protect them. #Tourism
