The Colonial Quarter is a two-acre attraction that takes visitors on an immersive journey through four eras of St. Augustine's history: 16th Century First City, 17th Century Spanish Fortified Town, 18th Century British 14th Colony, and 18th Century Spanish Garrison Town. Visitors can explore a replica of a 16th-century Spanish ship, climb a 17th-century watchtower, and participate in living history demonstrations, such as musket drills and blacksmithing. The area also features several restaurants, including Taberna del Caballo and Bull & Crown Publick House, which offer a range of dining options.
