Fort San Marco was a settlement built by the Spanish in the 16th century in what is now St. Augustine, Florida, United States. It was a part of the larger Spanish colonial presence in the region and served as a strategic defensive fortification against potential attacks from other European powers, such as the French and English. The settlement eventually became the town of St. Augustine, which is considered the oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement in the United States.

I apologize for the incorrect information provided earlier. The correct name of the settlement is Fort San Marcos de Apalache. It was built by the Spanish in the 17th century near the Apalachee Bay in present-day Florida, United States. The fort served as a military outpost and trading post. It was established to maintain control over the region and protect Spanish interests in the area. The settlement was located strategically along the Spanish expeditions' routes, making it an important hub for trade and communication. However, the fort was eventually abandoned and destroyed in the early 18th century.
