Stavanger Hotels

As one would expect with such a venerable history, St. Augustine serves up a full plate of heritage attractions, the likes of which do not exist anywhere in the state of Florida, or indeed, the United States of America for that matter. Castillo de San Marcos, for one, is the oldest masonry fort in the country and dates back to the late 17^th century. The star fort was pressed into service several times, most notably against the British. Both Castillo de San Marcos and Fort Matanzas are vital U.S. National Monuments in St. Augustine but by no means the only remarkable historic attractions from the Spanish era. Others include Fort Mose Historic State Park, the Spanish Military Hospital Museum and Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park.
