History

The San Marco station marked the initial opening of the Skyway's Southbank extension on October 30, 1998. It functioned as the southern endpoint until the inauguration of the Riverplace and Kings Avenue station two years afterward. Located at the southern base of the Acosta Bridge, it stands as the tallest Skyway station, featuring a three-level interior concourse. Additionally, it serves as the first stop following the crossing of the St. Johns River from Central Station.

Neighboring stations include Central station to the north and Riverplace station to the east. Notable attractions in close proximity comprise Friendship Fountain, the Museum of Science and History, and the Southbank Riverwalk.
