Santo Domingo Redoubt

Following the 1702 English siege of St. Augustine, the Spanish began constructing a system of peripheral fortifications to protect the town through defense-in-depth. Between 1704 and 1821, they completed the outworks of the Castillo and built five earthen walls known as lines of entrenchment. The Rosario Line and the eastern segment of the Cubo Line formed the city wall, also known as the line of circumvallation. During the British occupation of Florida from 1763 to 1784, military engineers repaired the Spanish fortifications and built a chain of seven free-standing redoubts west and south of the town.
