The Castillo de San Marcos historic monument symbolizes the clash between cultures which ultimately resulted in our uniquely unified nation. These cannons are truly a symbol and reminder of the determination and endurance of the time and people.
A bastion of the largest empire ever created, the Castillo was built to protect and defend Spains claims in the New World. Though caught in the whirlwinds of colonial warfare and intrigue, it was never defeated in battle. Its scarred walls still stand witness to over 330 years of history and culture.
