St. Augustine

St. Augustine is the first successful European

settlement in the United States.  Our nation's oldest city

established 1565. 

 

 

 

 

 

Another National Landmark is the

Basilica-Cathedral.  Completed in 1797

and became a cathedral in 1870; financed largely

by Spanish royal treasury.

 

 

 

This church was erected by Henry M. Flagler,

in loving remembrance of his daughter.  The
baptismal font is one solid piece of marble.

 

We made the best of a really rainy day

in St. Augustine.  So much history

and so little time.  We will go back.  When we get

home you'll notice we missed drinking from the

Fountain of Youth.
