Inside some of those buildings, shops and restaurants are available and a myriad of street performers provide the entertainment—you can meet with and talk to colonists and soldiers as they go about their tasks, mimicking daily life during the mid-18th Century.

12 South Castillo Drive, St. Augustine, FL, Estados Unidos, 32084
Castillo de San Marcos

The oldest extant Spanish fortification in the United States, this bulwark stands as a remnant of the European colonization of America. The Castillo de San Marcos dates back to 1672 and is a fine example of military architecture built in defense of the Spanish crown. The fort's masonry is called coquina and for more than 200 years of battle, this limestone withstood countless strikes among European powers. The dearth of traditional materials in Florida forced the Spanish to use this porous, yet resilient material, to the dismay of their enemies who found the fort impossible to conquer in battle. It was declared a national monument in 1924 and today, San Marcos remains a fascinating place. At the visitor's center one can join a ranger program, see a live re-enactment or just walk around and explore the fortress, whatever the choice, the fort definitely merits the trip.

St. George Street

St. George Street follows a historically old pathway that was once used by the Timucuan Indians before the first European colonists arrived. Over the last 400 years it was used by the Spanish, British and Americans as the main thoroughfare in which commerce commenced in the New World. Today, it is a pedestrian-only street that begins at the Castillo de San Marcos and meanders past Maria Sanchez Lake until it ends at South Street. Along the way, there are many sights, restaurants and the place where guests will find all of the city's kitschy, sometimes tacky souvenir shops.

Ripley's Believe It Or Not

This branch of the Ripley's franchise is unique because unlike other locations around the country, this one is housed in a former Spanish governor's mansion. The mansion itself is a gorgeous historical monument, with windows and architecture that only add to the allure of the bizarre. The main exhibit in the mansion is the 'Odditorium,' where guests will find plenty of curious curios and macabre artifacts. The other tour options here include the 'Red Train' tour, which ferries passengers around historical sites in town, or the 'Ghost Train' tour that follows a more paranormal track. All of the tickets can be purchased separately or in combination.

Pirate Store

The beloved pirate in Western lore is a common theme in St Augustine, and this store caters to those who have a penchant for souvenir loot. It leans more toward the kitschy, with an abundance of plastic parrots and Halloween-grade eye-patches, but you can still find a few more high quality items here as well, such as reproductions of nautical maps and artwork. The little shack stands on historic St. George Street and on weekends the owners host 'Pirate Pub Crawls.'

1080 North Ponce de Leon Boulevard, St. Augustine, FL, Estados Unidos, 32084
Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park

Juan Ponce de Léon never did find the fabled "fountain of youth" which it was alleged he sought in 1513. In fact, some historians suspect that he actually sought Spanish loot. Nevertheless, the contingent of his compatriot, Pedro Menéndez de Avilés did land on this spot which has been converted into an archaeological park. Subsequent excavations have confirmed Avilés' expedition and even though he landed here, the park plays upon de Leon's name instead. Housing a cornucopia of colonial America circa 1565, this park is replete with ancient village replicas, canons and myriad archaeological figurines which lend insights into the life and times of the earliest Spanish settlers in America. The park has exhibits of both the Spanish arrival as well as those on indigenous peoples, most notably the Timucuan. The settlement as well as the replica burial grounds make the park a great place of learning and historical exploration, especially when the actors fire off the canons and archaic arquebuses.
