Roman Arch And Runway In Fort Marion
Additional Details:
| Fort Marion, originally built in 1565, was destroyed in 1586 by Sir Francis Drake, and the present fort was finished in 1756. Many celebrated captives were imprisoned here; the closed door on the right-hand side is the one that leads to the dungeon where, in 1836, the skeletons and the two large iron cages were found by a U. S. Military Engineer. |
