VR Movie: Castillo de San Marcos

This is a view of the San Pedro Bastion from the top of the moat. The moat was usually kept dry and used as a pen for domestic animals. To the right of the bastion, a drawbridge connects the fort to the Ravelin, a triangular structure that protects the entrance. Continuing to the right, the Covered Way is visible. This area gave protection to soldiers on their way to or from the fort. Costumed docents walk along the top of the wall protecting the Covered way. Further to the right, a few St. Augustine houses may be seen.
