Castillo de San Marcos

For many years the northern most outpost of Spain’s vast New World Empire was the Castillo de San Marcos. The last rest stop for the Treasure Fleets returning to Spain, the fort was built between 1672 –1695, and exemplifies the best - preserved Spanish colonial fortification in the continental United States. It also served as a protection for St. Augustine from pirate raids as well as from the British, who were very much interested in acquiring Florida.

The fort’s structure is built entirely of a very soft shell/sandstone type material called Coquina. As a result of using this material, the fort was nearly impervious to cannon fire.

Notwithstanding its stringent restrictions, many wedding ceremonies have been celebrated within the walls of this fort (only along the North Green). One of the main reasons is its impressive setting and minimal fees.

However, bear in mind that ceremonies may not mar or harm the park or interfere with visitor use or administration of the park. No tent stakes or other objects may be driven into the ground. No generators are permitted. Amplified sound systems are permitted for events occurring after 5:30 p.m. No alcohol is permitted on the grounds.

Before deciding on this venue, it would be wise to pick up the Weddings Packet describing the "do and don’ts" as well as the various fees.
