When Pedro Menedez de Aviles landed here on September 8, 1565, he brought 20 artillery pieces, six-pounder guns, with him to protect the fledgling settlement. Nothing sounds like cannon fire. Nothing FEELS like cannon fire. The sound and feel of a 1500s six pounder falconet - the roar and smell of the powder - transports you back to a time when a small band of Spanish soldier-farmers faced an uncertain future in a new land that was naturally rich, but filled with hostile and potentially lethal threats.
With a long, rich history spanning nearly 500 years, the Fountain of Youth Park in Saint Augustine is delightful and amazing.
