A view of the Ponce De Leon Monument at the Fountain of Youth. The monument is a tall, obelisk-shaped structure made of coquina blocks, set on a tiered base. A plaque on the base commemorates Ponce de Leon's landing in Florida in 1513, his search for the Fountain of Youth, and the founding of St. Augustine on Easter Sunday. The monument is surrounded by shrubs and a paved walkway. In the background, a body of water is visible, possibly the Matanzas River. |
