Castillo de San Marcos
The
Castillo as seen from San Marco Avenue is an agelessly impressive sight. This
is the western wall or terreplein, with bastions San Pablo and
San Pedro.Notice the person resting against the tree at
right (I really hope he/she was only sleeping). Part of the Cubo Line, a
defensive wall once topped by sharp yucca plants designed to keep
out the enemy, can be seen at left.
Fountain of Youth
If
you’re into high-tech informational displays, you might not like the
displays at the Fountain of Youth, which tend more toward the quaint and
old-fashioned. If, however, you enjoy history in all shapes and forms, you’ll love them.
I personally like things like this --- ship models, artifacts recovered from
the site, etc. --- and much prefer the kitschy charm of old-school
displays over modern, in-your-face technological advancements.
