“San Marcos de Apalache Historic State Park is a Florida State Park in Wakulla County, Florida, organized around the historic site of a Spanish colonial fort, which was used by succeeding nations that controlled the area. The Spanish first built wooden buildings and a stockade in the late 17th and early 18th centuries here, which were destroyed by a hurricane.”
