One of the most iconic landmarks in St. Augustine is the Bridge of Lions. This double-leaf bascule bridge spans the Intracoastal waterway connecting the historical downtown area to Anastasia Island. The bridge was completed in 1927, but the structure saw a renovation in 2010, maintaining its position as a major thoroughfare in St. Augustine. Two replicas of the Roman Medici lions guard the entrance, hence its name, the Bridge of Lions.
As a guest at our St. Augustine Bed and Breakfast, you’ll want to add a stroll or drive across the Bridge of Lions to your itinerary. If you’re there at the right time, the drawbridge will rise to allow recreational and commercial vessels to pass underneath. The Bridge of Lions is just one of the famous landmarks to visit during your stay; the oldest city is filled with historical markers and points of interest. The St. Francis Inn is one of them! Dating back to 1791, our Inn has long been a destination in Florida for history buffs, honeymooners, and those seeking a romantic getaway in the tropics.
