#82512: F9a- Castillo de San Marcos

This is an up-close photo of the Castillo. It clearly depicts the large stone structure that has stood for centuries. Its angular structure and tall tower stands watch over the town of St. Augustine. While there is little vegetation in the picture, the blue sky in the background helps to define the sprawling grounds of the fort. While a tourist attraction today, this fort served as the centerpiece of Spain's defense of their territory in North Florida.
