Description
Casitllo de San Marcos is the oldest masonry fort in the United States. It is made from coquina rock, which is made from ancient shells which have naturally bonded together to form a stone similar to limestone. The coquina walls are very thick, and the softness of the coquina allowed the walls to sort of "absorb" cannonballs. Construction of the Castillo lasted from 1672 to 1695. It was designated a National Monument in 1924. St. Augustine, Florida.
