Coquina en Estas Paredes

datan del siglo XVIII, y en 1934 influyeron en la decisión del gobierno federal para renovar el edificio histórico y conservar su herencia española.
En la isla Anastasia se estableció una cantera de coquina para construir el Castillo San Marcos (1672-1695) y la casa del gobernador español (1689 y 1713). Los grandes trozos de coquina se cortaban a mano y se transportaban al otro lado del río Matanzas, donde se convertían en bloques de construcción. El ingles John Collins (Juan Calens) era el maestro de la cantera.
