Time for a history lesson! As mentioned in my unofficial Cebu Itinerary, I will allocate some time visiting Fort San Pedro. This is not my first time actually to visit the said place. I have been here last summer but the pictures went bye-bye when my laptop’s hard disk crashed due to a massive invasion of ants. The fort has been around since 1565, so its mighty safe to assume that this is the oldest Spanish Fort in the country. The fort has evolved from a wooden encampment to a heavily fortified garrison with thick concrete walls and long range cannons. The fort was established to ward off invaders off the coast of Cebu City. Currently, the place is a living witness of the rich heritage of Cebu City. The fort provides a glimpse of the Spanish Era. Inside the interior is an open space which has been turned into a pleasant garden where one can unwind and feel the cool sea breeze. I was hoping to get a glimpse of the fort during the late afternoon but due to my crazy schedule, I had to go there earlier. If you will be going to Cebu, add this on your must-visit list.

Cebu is also home to the best tourism of all, sitting around on the beaches. If you have money to spend, just try staying at the different casino’s and resorts. They are all nice.
Great post. I’m always looking for great blogs and I really like yours.
I love the 3rd and 4th photos. What camera did you use here?
