the Cathedral-Basilica of St. Augustine was founded in 1565. Heavily influenced by Spanish architecture, the Cathedral has seen more than its share of destruction in the form of fires and dilapidation through many years or service, but has been restored to retain the original Spanish flavor. One mile away from the Cathedral, a small but historic chapel marks the site where in 1565, Don Pedro landed and had his Chaplain perform the first Catholic service in North America.
