Reminiscent of old-world Europe, Aviles Street is the oldest street in North America dating back to the 1500s. This charming brick-paved street is lined with art galleries, cafes, boutiques, antiques, a historical research library, and Bed & Breakfast Inns. Aviles Street is located in the Original Art District of St. Augustine which has attracted artists from around the world since the late 1800s. Henry Flagler’s Art Colony thrives to this day with a lively mix of artist-owned galleries, co-ops, and artist studios featuring works in all media.
