The Official Website of St. Augustine,
Ponte Vedra & The Beaches
Deutsch Espanol Francais
Native Americans, Spanish explorers, British rulers and freed slaves – all have played major roles in the colorful history of St. Augustine, the first permanent European settlement in America. In this “Oldest City,” you can see historic sights from every era – from Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth to The Oldest Wooden School House in the USA to the opulent hotels of the 1880s.
