St. Augustine's Plaza de la Constitucion

The St. Augustine Record (St. Augustine, Florida) explained that the city's Plaza de la Constitucion received its name in 1813, when Spain adopted a Constitution and ordered monuments constructed in Spanish cities around the world.


The restored monarchy, later the same year, ordered the destruction of the monuments. According to the Record, "St. Augustine never took down their monument."
