History Fanatics

Cebu is known to have the most historical places here in the Philippines. One of those history places is the Fort san Pedro; it is built for military defense by the Spaniards. You'll see the old cannons, their headquarters and guns where they are mounted in the stones. This is a great place for photo shoot or anything.

It might look small on the outside, but it is actually quite spacious when you once entered it. The fort is just simple with a garden in the outside, a terrace, a small museum and accompanied by a historic atmosphere. It's peaceful there unlike at the busy city.

At a huge park there you will felt so comfortable during walking around. I was refreshed in the extraordinary structures. The entrance fees for regulars are 30php, Senior for 24php, lastly for students & children are 20php. You will also be guided by a tourism student or not and you can take a lot of pictures inside.

The people that are in charge of the tourism in Fort San Pedro like security officer, tourism students, etc. are very friendly and fun to talk with. One time a tourism guide offered us take picture of me and my friends then guide us on our trip there. On the outside you'll see that is just a simple place but it is really amazing when you get in, and it's because of the place historical landmarks!

This fortress has a big impact in our country's history and thus visiting this place while here in Cebu is not a waste of time. For history fanatics out there, experience this old Spanish dominated haven! The entrance fee is well worth and it is definitely a must place to visit!
