Changing of the Guard – St Augustine, Fl

by

Find out what it was like in colonial times.  The soldiers guarding St. Augustine are dismissed for the night, and their replacements arrive to take over guarding Government House. The commander of the new watch puts the replacement soldiers through a drill before they take over their posts. The retiring soldiers are ordered to clear their weapons with the command of “Disparen!” Blasts of musket fire echoes between the buildings in the Old City.  In 18th century St. Augustine the sound meant that the changing of the guard has taken place and the town is safe for the night. This traditional Spanish military routine takes place at 7 p.m. in front of St. Augustine’s Government House in the Plaza de la Constitucion.
