Caption: Fort Matanzas National Monument
Additional Description: The park commemorates the killing of nearly 250 French Huguenots by the Spanish, an act that gave the river and inlet the name Matanzas (Spanish for "slaughters"). One hundred seventy-five years later, the fort was constructed to help protect St. Augustine from a new threat - the British.
