The Government House has long been the home to many administrative and political offices. Throughout its many centuries of existence—the earliest records date back to the late 16th century, it has been a residence for Governors, a courthouse, a post office, government offices and more. Following the plans of the royal decree from Spain, it along with other major buildings in town, faces the central plaza. Today, the Government House Museum offers exhibits and displays that showcase the cultural, economic and historical past of the city from the original Spanish settlers of the 16th century though the Flagler era in the late 1800’s. Visitors of all ages benefit from the many exhibits and learning activities available in the museum.

A visit to the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine is an inspirational experience for people of all faiths. One can feel the spirit and devotion that the original clergy and parishioners felt when they came to this church, the oldest Catholic parish in the United States. The Church was founded in 1565 and was rebuilt many times. Through the age of exploration, pirates and the Flagler years, the church has been a vital part of the religious community in the city. The Church is located on Cathedral Street in the heart of downtown St. Augustine and is a designated National Historical Landmark. Today, its amazing past and exquisite Spanish architecture both inside and out, awe visitors from around the world.
