Pensacola

Pensacola has functioned as a Gulf Coast port in Florida’s Panhandle since the Spanish colonial era. Set on Pensacola Bay, the city faces the barrier islands and waters that lead into the Gulf of Mexico, while its historic centre is arranged around broad Palafox Street. Pensacola’s past is often described through the influence of five flags—Spanish, French, British, United States and Confederate—reflecting successive periods of rule. Naval Air Station Pensacola, established in 1914, remains a major part of the city’s identity and is the home base of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels.
