San Pedro Bastion


Distant view of the San Pedro (St. Peter) Bastion at the Castillo de San Marcos. The Castillo boasted four bastions. The bastions were filled with rubble and sand. Cannon were mounted on the top in such a way that anyone approaching the fort would be caught in the crossfire of two adjacent bastions.
