This memorial was the first French colony in the present-day USA. It was originally intended as refuge for the Huguenots until the Spanish destroyed most of the land, making it a memorial today.
This Fountain opened in 1965 & was known as one of the world’s largest and tallest self-contained fountains of its time. It pumps 3,500 to 6,500 gallons of water per minute reaching a height of 115ft.
This is the first lighthouse established by the new territorial American Government in 1824. During WWII the Coast Guard trained in St. Augustine & used the lighthouse as a lookout for enemy vessels.
