In America’s oldest city, the past immediately comes alive as you enter its historic district. The place is like a municipal time machine within which you can lose yourself for days on end.
Anchored by the old Spanish fort on Matanzas Bay, the buildings here link visitors to the early twentieth, nineteenth, eighteenth and seventeenth centuries just at a glance.
Preservation is the key in St. Augustine as city, county, state and federal governments cooperate with businesses, nonprofit groups and religious organizations to keep things as they once were for generations yet to come. In this day of rapid change and the new replacing the old at breakneck speed, a visit to this small town has a way of calming the mind, feeding the intellect and satisfying the spirit.
