Pensacola Historic District

Pensacola Historic District is an urban neighborhood with narrow cobblestone streets, buildings from different periods, and two squares forming the center. The area contains original wooden and brick structures displaying various architectural styles.

The district began in 1559 under Spanish rule and developed into an important trading hub. Later under British control and then American administration, it retained its significance as a port city.

The neighborhood displays Spanish and British architecture that shaped Pensacola's identity as a major port. The streets and squares reflect the multicultural influences that converged here across centuries.

The district is easy to explore on foot and multiple museums are open throughout the week. Visitors find information centers with maps and materials to understand the area independently.

A large collection of antique printing presses and type from the 19th century remains preserved in a working print shop. This collection is among the largest in the region and shows how newspapers and printed materials were made.
