Things to do in St. Augustine, Florida (FL): The Best Churches & Cathedrals
Saint Augustine is a luxurious, romantic vacation spot—you’ll find classic hotels and intimate restaurants. Those can be a dime a dozen, though. What sets Saint Augustine apart is its history—it’s the oldest European settlement in the U.S. And nowhere else in the world can you taste the waters of the Fountain of Youth Archeological Park (where Ponce de Leon may have landed). Who knows, if you vacation here, maybe you won’t need that Botox!

This stop is on the Trolley Tour! It is beautiful and worth a visit. The grounds are beautiful with statues, beautiful views and even peacocks running around! Lots of history here also....with the very first Catholic Mass celebrated on these very grounds. There is a replica of the first altar also. After walking around stop into the small museum and gift shop. Don’t forget the Shrine itself....the most beautiful statue of our Blessed Mother I’ve ever seen! Check it out for yourself. Great way to end the day as this stop is near the end of the Trolley Tour.

Stopped here during our trolley tour. It was a peaceful pause in a hectic day with time to light a candle and say some prayers.
4. Memorial Presbyterian Church
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 814 reviews
The present sanctuary was given by Henry Morrison Flagler and dedicated in 1890 as a memorial to his daughter Jenny Louise Benedict who died from complications from childbirth. Mr. Flagler, his first wife, Mary, daughter Jenny Louise and granddaughter, Marjorie, are entombed in the Flagler family mausoleum at Memorial. For almost 200 years, Memorial Presbyterian Church has not only remained a major figure in the St. Augustine skyline but also a major contributor to the community surrounding it. We are an active congregation with a full range of worship, music, education, mission, fellowship, and pastoral ministries. Memorial Presbyterian Church members are vitally involved in the life and work of the community and the church reaches into the community and, in concert with others, into the world with the good news of God’s love in Jesus Christ. The Sanctuary is open for self guided tours Tues - Saturday from 11:00 a.m. until 3:45 p.m. unless we have a wedding or memorial service.

For history, geography, old architecture lovers this is a must see. The church with its striking ceiling and detailed design is breathtaking. The history about the life of Henry Flagler who built the church and the development of St. Augustine & Florida is a must see to learn about the early period of development of the American society and economy.
