St. Augustine is a splendid city, the oldest continuously occupied settlement established by those venturing Europeans in all of the continental United States. It was founded by the Spanish in the late 15th century and stayed in Spanish hands until 1819. Recommend St. Augustine sightseeing includes the St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum for spectacular views of northeast Florida, artefacts recovered from vessels, and information on centuries of history from in and around the area; the  Spanish Military Hospital Museum; the Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse and the St. Augustine Wild Reserve, a seven-acre animal centre with tigers, cougars, lynxes, leopards, wolves and more.
