Itinerary
The Old City Gates once marked the northern entrance to St. Augustine’s walled colonial city. Built of coquina stone, they remain one of the city’s most iconic historic landmarks and a fitting starting point for the tour.
Castillo de San Marcos is the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States. Built by the Spanish from coquina stone, it has guarded St. Augustine since the late 1600s and remains one of the city’s most important landmarks. No entry on the premises.
The Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse is a charming St. Augustine landmark dating back to the early 1700s. Built of red cedar and cypress, it offers a glimpse into colonial-era education and daily life. No entry on the premises.
Tolomato Cemetery is one of St. Augustine’s oldest burial grounds, with graves dating back to the city’s Spanish period. Its weathered markers, historic chapel, and layered stories make it a memorable stop on the tour. No entry on the premises.
Huguenot Cemetery is a historic Protestant burial ground established in the 1820s after a yellow fever epidemic. Its old iron fence, weathered graves, and quiet setting make it one of St. Augustine’s most atmospheric sites.
Potter’s Wax Museum is one of St. Augustine’s classic attractions, featuring lifelike wax figures of historical icons, celebrities, and legends. Its old-world charm adds a unique stop along the city’s historic streets. No entry on the premises.
