Fort San Carlos was a military structure built in 1816 to defend the Spanish colonial town of Fernandina, Florida, now called Old Town, which occupied a peninsula on the northern end of Amelia Island. The fort, a lunette fortification, stood on the southwest side of the town next to the harbor, on a bluff overlooking the Amelia River. It was made of wood and earthworks, backed with a wooden palisade on the east side, and armed with an eight or ten gun battery. Two blockhouses protected access by land on the south, while the village was surrounded with military pickets. An 1821 map of Fernandina shows that the street plan, laid out in 1811 in a grid pattern by the newly appointed Surveyor General of Spanish East Florida, George J. F. Clarke, today preserves nearly the same layout as that of

  • Fort San Carlos était une structure militaire construite en 1816 pour défendre la ville coloniale espagnole de Fernandina, en Floride, maintenant appelée Old Town, qui occupe une péninsule à l'extrémité nord de l'Île d'Amelia. Le fort, une fortification lunette, se tenait sur le côté sud-ouest de la ville à côté du port, sur une falaise surplombant la rivière Amelia. Deux blockhaus protégeaient l'accès par voie terrestre au sud, tandis que le village était entouré de piquets militaires. Une carte de 1821 de Fernandina montre que le plan des rues, disposée en 1811 dans une grille de l'arpenteur général, fut nouvellement nommé en espagnol Floride orientale. George J. F. Clarke conserve aujourd'hui presque la même présentation que celle de 1821. Le fort occupé la zone délimitée par les rues C (fr)
