Interior of Castillo de San Marcos |
Basically, as far as North America
The Fort is where we started the day and the history associated with this National Monument
This Fort was also the main defense for the City of St. Augustine, whose walls are yards away. And every hour on the half-hour, they give a cannon demonstration that is very loud, but not to miss! Stroll from the fort to the entrance to the City and you will find St. George Street
And at night, the city starts to show visitors her darker side. One has to expect that with an area this old and that has seen so many battles and changes of hands that there must be more than a few "energies" that should have been left in the past. The ghost

The smell of bean soup from the Mill Top Tavern was fantastic! |
Entry to the Fort is $6 per adult and most of the City is free to wander through. The only places you would pay extra for (and they are everywhere) are places that one might need to enter to see - the Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse, for instance. But really, unless you want to spend a lot of money and all of your time inside, there's no need to do that. There is so much in St. Augustine to see that is unique and interesting that your free time can be just that... Free!
One more bit of info: If you happen to hold a Golden Age Pass from the National Parks Service (which are unfortunately no longer offered, click the link for details) Castillo de San Marcos is included and admission is free for you and three guests.
