The Old City Gates. Built in 1808, these used to be the main way to enter or exit St Augustine.
- 3St. Augustine Pirate & Treasure Museum
We’re standing in front of the St Augustine Pirate and Treasure Museum. If scoundrels of the high seas are your thing, tap Learn More to hear about the museum.
- 4Oldest Wooden School House
Founder Juan Genopoly wanted to give back to his community, who had worked hard to earn their place here. How hard, you might wonder? Well Genopoly was one of thousands of indentured servants who arrived here on the promise of owning land in exchange for unpaid labor. Of those thousands, only 600 survived the brutal plantation work.
- 5Saint Photios Greek Orthodox National Shrine
Although it might not seem like much on the outside, the inside is covered in Byzantine-style frescoes. These ornate murals are dedicated to the first colony of Greek people who inhabited America.
- 6Memorial Presbyterian Church
This grand building with gold trim is unlike anything else we’ll see in St. Augustine. That’s the way Henry Flagler intended it! Flagler, a wealthy New Yorker, didn’t think much of this city when he first visited.
- 7Stop
The tradition of inhabiting the governor’s house would go on until 1811. The building has seen several remodels and uses since then, transforming into a post office, headquarters for Civil War troops, and finally—a museum!
- 8Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine
Its congregation is as old as this city. How can that be? Well, on that fateful day back in 1565 when the Spanish conquistador planted the Spanish flag on this shore, a priest approached him after his victory. Father Lopez carried a hefty cross on his shoulders and offered it to the conqueror, all the while singing a hymn.
- 9Bridge of Lions
That bridge, marked by a large marble statue of a lion up ahead, is the Bridge of Lions
