Post card guide and history of old Saint Augustine . ^^^^?k • laanvss^s^^i^B^^^^B IPB MrllMff^ ~^^^3|VP^hk 1-- |P^.—*^^ . ^-: 1 This line of defense consisted of a moat or deep ditch in frontof a palisade and extended from the fort to the San Sebastian river, with bastions and sentry boxes at short intervals. At the firing of the sunset gun the gate was closed, the draw-bridge raised, guards were stationed in the sentry boxes inside thegate and the late comer, no matter whether friend or foe, had tocamp out until morning. The City Gates mark the northern end of St. George street and thebeginning of San Marco avenue. St. George street is one of the olderstreets of the city but is still among the main thoroughfares. It ismade conspicuous by the many buildings with overhanging balconies, remnants of old-world architecture, and which are found in all theolder streets of St. Augustine. St. George street is a very narrowthoroughfare, which is also an old-world idea in city building.. Another point of interest is at the south end of Anastasia Islandwhere Menendez massacred Ribaults men a few days after his re-turn from the destruction of Fort Caroline. The exact site of themassacre is unknown. The inroads of the sea have washed awayall evidences of the conflict. Jfort iHarion At the northern extremity of the old town Menendez in 1565commenced a fort of wood, octagon in shape, having the walls filledwith earth. The entrenchments were built with fascines also filled with earth, faced with logs of wood. This fort Menendez namedSan Juan de Pinos. It was garrisoned with two hundred men andmounted fourteen cannon. Fort Marion was begun before the close of the 17th century.It is the only example of medieval fortification on this continent andwas built from plans of a famous French engineer, and is a superbexample of the art of military engineering as developed at that time.This massive structure of coquina covers, with its surrounding reser-vation, more than twenty acres.
