Founded in 1565, St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied
settlement of European origin in the United States. Forty-two years before
the English colonized Jamestown and fifty-five years before the Pilgrims
landed at Plymouth Rock, the Spanish established at St. Augustine this
nation's first enduring settlement.
The
architectural legacy of the city's past is much younger, testimony to the
impermanent quality of the earliest structures and to St. Augustine's
troubled history. Only the venerable Castillo de San Marcos, completed in
the late seventeenth century, survived destruction of the city by invading
British forces in 1702.
Vestiges of
the First Spanish Colonial Period (1565-1764) remain today in St.
Augustine in the form of the town plan originally laid out by Governor
Gonzalo Méndez de Canzo in the late sixteenth century and in the narrow
streets and balconied houses that are identified with the architecture
introduced by settlers from Spain. Throughout the modern city and within
its Historic Colonial District, there remain thirty-six buildings of
colonial origin and another forty that are reconstructed models of
colonial buildings.
St.
Augustine can boast that it contains the only urban nucleus in the United
States whose street pattern and architectural ambiance reflect Spanish
origins.
