Short Description About Fort San Pedro
The Fort San Pedro is the oldest fort here in Cebu. It was built by the Spaniards in 1565 under the command of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, in which it served as military protection. When you visit this fort, you will witness the strong wall foundation of the fort, and there are also some artifacts of the cannons at the top of the fort. The original build of this fort was made of wood; it was reconstructed to a stone structure dating from 1738. It also has the oldest triangular bastion fort in the city. The three bastions of the fort are named San Miguel (in the northeast), Ignacio de Loyola (in the southeast), and La Concepcion (in the southwest). There were fourteen cannons established in the fort before, and most of them are still there today.
Today, it serves as a historical heritage under the care of the Cebu City government, which maintains and well-preserves it. Some parts of the fort are a museum that displays the legacies of the Spanish government and well-preserved Spanish artifacts like documents, paintings, and sculptures. This means it must be visited by locals and foreigners. In short, Fort San Pedro is a tourist spot destination that combines history, culture, and tranquility, making a visit more meaningful and memorable. This is open to everyone, whether together with your family, friends, or travelers who want to witness the historical heritage.
Best Experience in Fort San Pedro
On my first visit to Fort San Pedro, before I entered, I was amazed at the structure of the fort. From the walls, I can say that these walls are so strong that they will last for a long time. Upon entering the fort, I saw some of the historical paintings and galleries of the fort. They have some details on them so that every tourist will understand what the galleries are all about. The tranquility of the fort is so amazing. You will see how unique these walls are, and you can also experience their wishing well. When you are inside these triangular walls, you just imagine the people who have lived in the place for so many years and what kind of lives they had before—it gives me goosebumps when I already know the story behind building this fort. This is a place that you don't need to forget to visit.
