Fort Castillo de San Marcos

A friend of mine did the HDR on this photo. Since I had taken it in jpeg, it did not turn out as well as if it was in the nef raw.
The city of St. Augustine was founded by the Spanish in 1565. Over the next one hundred years, the city was defended by nine wooden forts. Following the 1668 attack of the English pirate Robert Searle, it was decided by the Queen Regent of Spain, Mariana, that a masonry fortification be constructed to protect the city. In October 1672 construction began on the fort that would become the Castillo de San Marcos.
