Fort Marion, the Spanish colonial stronghold in St. Augustine, Florida, was begun in 1672 and completed in 1756, and it remains the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States. Its walls are built of coquina, a soft shell limestone quarried from nearby barrier islands, and the star-shaped bastions were designed so defenders could cover every approach with gunfire. By 1912 the fort had been under United States control for more than a decade, having been renamed Fort Marion after the Revolutionary War general Francis Marion, and it was already drawing tourists interested in its age. A panoramic view captures how the massive coquina ramparts sit against the open sky and the surrounding grounds.
