Fort San Pedro Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
San Petro Fort is located next to the port. It is also known as the ancient castle of the Philippines with the Santiago Castle in Manila. It was built by the Spanish invaders when they arrived in the Philippines to defend against the attacks of the southern Philippines. During the Second World War, the castle was used to defend against the Japanese army, and the Latin American troops were stationed here as a camp. Many famous officers were stationed here. There are many traces of war here, which can be said to have been deeply imprinted by the war. Now it is a school classroom. There is a museum in Fort San Petro, which displays some of the art treasures salvaged from the old Spanish sailing ship and the sunken "Santiago".

this was an amazing experience and having a tour guide to explain the history behind the fortress made it worthwhile.
This fortress itself was very good. As of July 2022, it is open. Admission is 30 pesos. However, I went with a friend, and when I paid, I was told to pay all of them together. When I said that I wanted to pay separately, I was bitterly laughed with my eyes on other security guards ... It didn't feel good. But the fortress itself was very good. It was a holiday, but there were few people, so I was able to watch it slowly.
Fort San Pedro, I went out early, the tour bus has not come yet, there are three cats still sleeping in at the door, everyone can have a free tour guide when they come in, my young lady is super nice to explain the history of Cebu for me, I think I will go again! Because you made the trip even better!
Don’t go during noon, its very hot.. this place is a historical place in Cebu, in the middle of the city. Its a little bit crowded outside and not easy to find parking space.
One of the oldest structures in Cebu City. Nice view of the Plaza Independencia. Admission for foreigners is 30peso.
A nice fortress next to the Plaza Independencia. Often visited by local people.
full of history
