Fort Matanzas, is fifteen miles North of Saint Augustine, Florida. The structure is a historical remembrance of Florida’s history of European conflicts for the land and Spanish empire. The fort has been standing since 1740 and its landscape provides a home to hundreds of wild life. Through studying the landscape surrounding Fort Matanzas, the strong connection between bodies of water became prominent.
