VR Movie: Castillo de San Marcos Guard Room

Soldiers lived in town with their families, not inside the Castillo. Guard duty lasted for 24 hours, so soldiers used this room to sleep and prepare their meals. The small doorway leads to a second guard room. The large doorway opens onto the Sally Port (entrance). The gate you see in the Sally Port is the Portcullis gate.
