Safety Harbor Philippe Park, Tocobago Indian Mound from 900 AD.

Philippe Park is a Pinellas County park located in Safety Harbor, Florida. The temple mound is one of the last remnants of the Tocobaga on the Pinellas Peninsula. Records indicate that Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, the founder of St. Augustine, Florida, visited the site in 1566 to help broker a truce between the Tocobaga and the Calusa to the south. During the visit Pedro Menéndez founded a Spanish outpost nearby, but by 1567 it was reported to have been wiped out by the Tocobaga, the Spanish found the bodies of 30 Christian missionaries and not Tocobago Indians.
