Return to Dr. Bronson's St. Augustine History Page
This very interesting picture from the Library of Congress is undated. This could be from the Spanish American war or when the Apachies were held at the Fort.

Another Library of Congress photo showing the Castillo in 1910.

On the outer wall of the Castillo is an escutcheon bearing the Arms of Spain and the following legend translated as: "Don Fredinand VI., being King of Spain, and the Field Marshal Don Alonzo Fernando Hereda being Governor and Captain-General of this place, San Augustin of Florida, and its province, this fort was finished in the year 1756. The works were directed by the Captain-Engineer, Don Pedro de Brozas of Garay."
