Few historic statements are questioned more than St. Augustine’s claim to the title “the nation’s oldest city.” It is indeed the oldest permanently established settlement and more importantly it is Spain's Colonial Capital.
Standing in stark contrast to the understated Spanish structures are the luxurious hotels built by Standard Oil Tycoon Henry Morrison Flagler during the Victorian era. Flagler’s own life change from money maker to community developer forever altered the face of St. Augustine and ultimately Florida.
Visitors can absorb new-found knowledge on the walking stretch of St. George Street where hundreds of shops beckon and numerous restaurants are available.
