西班牙的冒險家,在佛羅里達建立奧古斯丁,1565年,9月8日
奧古斯丁受西班牙統治256年,英國統治20年。美國在1821年向老卡斯提羅要求主權,在1825年將其更名為福特馬林。福特城有著繽紛的歷史,曾經被海盜法蘭西斯德克佔領;在美國革命期間,用來對英國輸誠的避難所;在印第安戰爭時是監獄;美國南北戰爭時,更是兵家必爭之地。
為了見證這些驚心動魄的嚴酷歷史,曾是西班牙權威象徵、莊嚴的福特城,現在則是美國所發現最古老的都市,美國政府於1933年在此建立國家公園。它原來的名字在1942年重新復名。今天,這個名為奧古斯丁,位於佛羅里達的城市,任何一草一木,都見證了北美洲450年來的探索、移民和戰爭,無盡滄桑。
St. Augustine was ruled by the Spanish for 256 years and the British for 20. The United States acquired the old Castillo in 1821, and renamed it Fort Marion in 1825. The fort has had a colorful history. It was plundered by sea raider Sir Francis Drake, provided a refuge for Loyalists to the British king during the American Revolution, was used as a prison during the Indian wars, and was a battle site in the American Civil War.
Recognizing the amazing history of the grim, massive fort, once a symbol of Spanish power, and the oldest standing fort in the continental United States, the U.S. government made it a National Park in 1933. Its original name was restored in 1942. Today, the city of St. Augustine, Florida, and the Castillo de San Marcos provide a glimpse at the panorama of 450 years of exploration, settlement, and war in North America.
