Description
The Castillo de San Marcos is the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States (1695). The Spanish-built Castillo is located on the western shore of Matanzas Bay in the city of St. Augustine, Florida. The oven (lower right) was used to heat cannonballs that would then be used to attack wooden ships in the bay setting them afire. See my gallery for other images of the fort.
