| Item Description: | Erected in the early days on the spot called "Nombre de Dios," where Pedro Menendez de Aviles landed in 1565 and laid the foundation of the first Spanish Colony in the new continent. Here the religious ceremony of taking possession of the land in the name of God and of the King of Spain, took place, and the first Holy Mass was celebrated. Dismantled and abandoned during the border raids from Georgia. Rebuilt by Bishop Verot in 1873, blown down by a storm a year later. Restored by Bishop Curley in 1918. Located on Ocean Street.
