PARADISE, THE PHILIPPINES - [ S1- EP 12 ] - FORT SAN PEDRO, Cebu City

In this episode, we are going to visit Fort San Pedro. Fort San Pedro is a military defense structure in Cebu, Philippines, built by the Spanish under the command of Miguel López de Legazpi, first governor of the Captaincy General of the Philippines. It is located in the area now called Plaza Independencia, in the pier area of the city. The original fort was made of wood and built after the arrival of Legazpi and his expedition. In the early 17th century a stone fort was built to repel Muslim raiders. Today's structure dates from 1738 and is the oldest triangular bastion fort in the country.
The fort is triangular in shape, with two sides facing the sea and the third side fronting the land. The two sides facing the sea were defended with artillery and the front with a strong palisade made of wood. The three bastions are named La Concepción (southwest), Ignacio de Loyola (southeast), and San Miguel (northeast).The towers are 9.1 metres (30 ft) high from the ground level. The walls are 6.1 metres high by 2.4 metres thick (20 feet high by 8 feet thick) and It has a total inside area of 2,025 square metres (21,800 sq ft).
I hope you enjoy this historical tour in Cebu City with me.
Have fun and Lets go.
