Where is Castillo de San Marcos?

King Alfonso X had the castle built over the former main mosque in the 13th century. Since 1920 it has been part of the Spanish Bien de Interés Cultural as a national monument.

Those who are in Saint Augustine should at least visit Castillo and Flagler College. Yes it costs 10 dollars per adult, yes it is neither a huge Maltese fortress nor the castle Schwanstein but nevertheless the core of Saint Augustine and a historically valuable building for the Region which must be preserved what costs money again (entrance fees). At 1 pm, a historic cannon is fired, which was very impressive and loud. In addition, there are some inside the walls to learn about the history of Castillo. All in all you can if you are a little interested here like to spend an hour or more. In addition to Flagler College for us a clear must-do.
