Fort St. John

Fort St. John, also known as the Old Spanish Fort, is a historic site in New Orleans, LA, established in 1701. Once a military fortification during Spanish rule, it later transformed into a resort area and amusement park from 1823 to 1926, leaving behind remnants that tell the story of its rich past.

Despite the passage of time and the impact of natural disasters, the fort remains a significant landmark, surrounded by ancient oak trees that have withstood the test of time. The site continues to evoke romantic legends, including tales of a Spanish officer named Sancho Pablo, who is believed to be buried beneath its grounds.
