This is a picture of the Castillo de San Marcos in St-Augustine. It is quite old built in 1672. It is over 400 years old. The Spanish settled her in 1565 and is the oldest continuously occupied city of European origin in what is presently in the US. St-Augustine and Florida remained a European colony for the next 256 years. For a brief period it was governed by Great Britain at the time of the American Revolution. Spain regained control of Florida in 1784 and remained until 1821 when the United States took possession of the entire peninsula.
