Cathedral-Basilica of St. Augustine, Florida

This is the steeple and bell tower.The original church was built of coquina stone on the present site in the late 1790’s and became a Cathedral when the Diocese of St. Augustine was erected in 1870.
The Spanish Renaissance style bell tower, topped by steeple and gold cross was added in the nineteenth century.
