3 Franciscan with Indian Boy Statue in Old City of St. Augustine, Florida

Prior to the arrival of the Spanish explorers in 1513, there were more than 100,000 Timucua American Indians living in the area now known as northern Florida. Although many of the Spaniards were brutal to the native people, others established missions among the Timucan chiefdoms starting in 1565. In tribute to those early missionaries, this statue of a Franciscan monk with his arm around the shoulder of a young boy was erected in the Oldest House Garden.
