Step back in time and learn about
what life was like for St Augustine’s
early settlers and visit the St
Augustine Colonial Spanish Quarter. As
one of the most famous
St Augustine
Florida Attractions, the St. Augustine
FL Colonial Spanish Quarter is more than
just a heritage museum, it is a living
history museum complete with costumed,
period actors that work and carry out
the normal daily activities of the
people who lived in the Old City during
the 1740s. It was during this time in
St Augustine’s long history that many
Spanish soldiers and their families
inhabited the city. The Spanish soldiers
were a part of the city’s main military
defense that protected the Spanish
colony from attacks by the British,
which were common in that day. When you
visit the Colonial Spanish Quarter St
Augustine you can catch a glimpse at
what every day life was like for many of
these families.
 Throughout the Colonial Spanish Quarter
St Augustine FL you can watch tradesmen
and other workers go about their
occupations. Visitors to the St
Augustine Colonial Spanish Quarter love
watching the different interpretive
actors work at blacksmithing, leatherworking, candle-making and even
baking as they relive the period just
before the 19th century. Currently, the
carpenters are building a “choza”,
covered work area, in the same manner in
which the soldiers and their families
built their 18th century buildings.
Visitors can watch as they lay the
thatched roof and construct the building
from the natural materials found about
the region in the same way that was done
some 300 years before.
