Monumento nacional Fort Matanzas

Monumento nacional Fort Matanzas
Fort Matanzas is a part of the National Park Service and is only accessible by ferry. It's an interesting location full of history. The park service gives a very nice tour.
Fire the cannon!
Fort Matanzas National Monument was built in 1742 to defend Spanish St. Augustine from the British, nearly 300 years ago. 

Fort Matanzas has a very long & interesting history, closely connected with the founding of St. Augustine by Pedro Menendez de Aviles. In 1565, Menendez murdered over 250 French Protestants including the famed Jean Ribault, on the land where the Fort is today. Due to the history of the site, the Spanish named both the fort and the inlet "Matanzas," which means "slaughters" in English. That name carries on to this day.

#InStone
My favorite part of the Fort Matanzas National Monument was the sentry box. The Spanish built the fort in 1740 and it's still standing strong! The visit to the fort is free, but you have to take a ferry over so be sure to check out the ferry  schedule.
