St. Augustine’s rich heritage makes the city and its surroundings a unique getaway for visitors. Founded in 1565 by Spain, St. Augustine is the longest continually inhabited European-founded city in the United States – and is commonly called the “Nation’s Oldest City.”
With more than four centuries of history that owes much to the Spanish and English, as well as to Greeks, Native Americans, and African Americans, St. Augustine is the perfect place for those interested in discovering the origins of America. Visitors with a penchant for discovery can stroll the narrow lanes, wander through the many museums, and visit landmarks such as Castillo de San Marcos, Ponce de Leon’s “Fountain of Youth,” and the country’s Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse.
