Dry Tortugas National Park

Architecture

Dry Tortugas National Park preserves Fort Jefferson and the Dry Tortugas section of the Florida Keys. It is famous for abundant sea life, colourful coral reefs and legends of shipwrecks and sunken treasures. The park’s centrepiece is Fort Jefferson, a massive but unfinished coastal fortress. It is the largest masonry structure in the Western Hemisphere, and is composed of over 16 million bricks.
