The fortress of Gastillo San Marcos

The city is famous for its ghosts and related places.

One of them is the old fortress of Gastillo San Marcos, which has the shape of a star. In this fort and in the thick walls of centuries-old dwellings lies the true soul of St. Augustine. Once upon a time, a couple of adulterers were immured alive in the walls of the fort. Visitors to the fort saw their ghosts holding hands.

Many restless ghosts roam the Huguenot cemetery, which frighten tourists, and in the St. Francis Hotel.
