On his third voyage, which took place in 1521, Juan Ponce de León explored the southwestern coast of Florida. He was primarily searching for gold and the legendary Fountain of Youth. During this expedition, he established a settlement near present-day Tampa Bay but faced resistance from the indigenous populations. Ultimately, he was injured in a skirmish with the local tribes and returned to Spain, where he later died from his wounds.
