Bastions of St. Augustine: Conquest & Change

Step into the rhythm of cobblestone streets, sea-salted breezes, and centuries-old stories on this self-guided audio tour of St. Augustine, FL. Walk through a living city shaped by tides of empire, faith, ambition, and resilience. From Spanish strongholds to Gilded Age hotels, from the city’s earliest cemeteries to the shadows cast by protest and change, each stop reveals another facet of America’s oldest European-founded city.

The route begins and ends at the Castillo de San Marcos, the enduring fortress that once guarded the coastline—and now stands watch over centuries of transformation. As you make your way through plazas, alleyways, and historic homes, you’ll uncover the many lives of this city: as a military outpost, a religious sanctuary, a tourist haven, and a place where the course of national history was quietly, and sometimes forcefully, shifted.
