St. Augustine Old Jail

Nestled in St. Augustine, the St. Augustine Old Jail, with its deceptive pink stucco exterior, once served as a formidable and feared institution. Constructed in 1891, this historic building functioned as the St. Johns County Jail until 1953. Today, visitors can explore the jail’s interior, which offers a glimpse into the lives of prisoners and the conditions they endured. The structure’s transformation from a place of confinement to a public attraction provides a unique and educational experience, allowing guests to step back in time and understand the historical significance of this site.
