After an extensive multimillion-dollar renovation completed in three months, the site opened as the Colonial Quarter in March 2013.

In 1963 the Colonial Spanish Quarter was opened as a living museum depicting life in St Augustine in the 1740s.

This living history museum operated until fall 2011 on a 2-acre (8,100 m2) site owned by the University of Florida and managed by the City of St.

[1][2][3] In September 2012, Colonial Quarter LLC, owned by Pat Croce, who also owns the adjacent St. Augustine Pirate & Treasure Museum, and the University of Florida signed an agreement allowing Colonial Quarter LLC to operate the site.

Noted for its outdoor stage and open area picnic table seating covered with trees and lit by lanterns, local bands perform here nightly.
