The Nickel Tour
Picturesque San Marco is one of Jacksonville's most famous neighborhoods. Its unique buildings - some of which were built in the Mediterranean Revival style - capture both the eye and the imagination. Combined with sweeping views of the St. John's River and convenient access to both downtown and points north and south, San Marco can't be missed.
