Charlesfort-Santa Elena Site is an archeological site on Parris Island in South Carolina, that is also known as Ribaut Monument, San Marcos, San Felipe, or 38BU51 and 38BU162.
"The Charlesfort-Santa Elena site is nationally significant because it illustrates the competition for New World resources between two European colonial powers, France and Spain. Charlesfort (1562-1563) was a French site established by Jean Ribault. Founded in 1566, Santa Elena was the first capital of Spanish Florida until 1587."[2]
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2001.[2][3]
