Matanzas National Monument and Castillo de San
Marcos; two forts whose ruins date back to the mid
18th century. There are various St. Augustine
Attractions that offer historic tours and even
historic ghost tours! Be sure to check out the
Fountain of Youth National Archeological Park, which
was a created to monument the site where Ponce de
Leon is said to have believed the legendary fountain

The St. Augustine Lighthouse was the first
lighthouse built in Florida and a second
construction has withstood erosion and many storms.

miles. It truly is a sight to see!
