MISSION NUMBER OF DIOS
Park bordering a lake with a museum, retracing the history of the arrival of the first Christian missionaries in America in 1565
Set in a large green park on the edge of a lake, this site tells the story of the arrival of the first Christian missionaries in America in 1565, and looks back at the founding of St. Augustine. Don't miss the original coffin of Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, the town's founder, in the museum (his body now rests in Avilés, Spain) and a visit to the pretty chapel outside. Whether you're interested in religion or not, this site is well worth a visit for its great historical value and the refreshing break it provides.
