City gates

City gates

The city gates lead to the old town via George Street. According to a sign on the gates, "This gate, opened in 1739, provided the only access through the defense line on the north side of Spanish St. Augustine. Royal engineer Manuel de Hita built these coquina pillars in 1808."
