Aviles Street

St. Augustine, Florida

History

Stroll Down 6 of America's Oldest Streets

Established in 1565, St. Augustine is the oldest city founded by Europeans in the United States.

St. Augustine's city archaeologist estimates that Aviles Street was built in the early 1600s. It was once known as Hospital Street because of the location of St. Augustine's Spanish Military Hospital, but today's Aviles Street lies in the center of the city's historic arts district. Visitors can stroll along the brick street and find galleries and shops full of leather goods, antiques, and jewelry, as well as sidewalk cafes and restaurants. Be sure to visit the historic landmarks along Aviles Street, too: You can learn about early Spanish medical practices at the Spanish Military Hospital Museum and visit the St. Augustine Historical Society at the General Kirby House. Aviles Street is also home to the O'Reilly House, one of the oldest buildings in St. Augustine.
