🏰 Fort SAN PEDRO- CEBU🇵🇭
Fort San Pedro, 🏰 the oldest and smallest triangular fort in the Philippines, is an 18th-century structure that served as an army garrison to repel aggressors during the Spanish regime. In the later years, through the advent of colonization, the fort was turned into a barracks (during the American reign), a school, an emergency hospital, a prison (during the Japanese reign), and a zoo before it became a historical park as it is seen today. Notable items inside the fort include paintings, real cannons, old photographs, and a triangular roof deck.
⏲️Operating Hours: Every day, 8:00 a.m.-08:00 p.m.

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!
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.
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.
full of history
