St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied European-founded settlement in the continental United States, founded in 1565. Its geology is dominated by coquina—a soft limestone of shell fragments—that builders used for fortifications and homes. The city’s layout and architecture reflect Spanish, British, and Gilded Age American layers: mission shrines, military barracks, and Flagler-era hotels coexist within a compact downtown.

Founded in 1565 by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, St. Augustine’s built environment records Spanish, British, and American periods and preserves the continental U.S.’s oldest masonry fort, Castillo de San Marcos.
Coquina structures and coastal habitats are sensitive to erosion and rising tides; visitors are asked to stick to paths, avoid climbing on historic masonry, and minimize single-use plastics.
