Additional Details:
This grim gray old Fortress still protects the harbor entrance to St. Augustine. Construction was started in 1672 and it was not completed until 1756. It has been under siege by British fleets and Pirate hordes, but never captured. During one siege the entire population of St. Augustine lived securely within its walls.
