"As the nation's longest continually inhabited European-founded
city, St. Augustine, Fla., considers itself the oldest city in the
United States. Founded in 1565 by Spanish Adm. Pedro Menéndez de
Avilés, this community of 13,000 residents on Florida's northeastern
coast has managed to maintain its colonial charm. Take the Castillo de
