Fort San Pedro is a military structure in Cebu, Philippines built by the Spanish under the command of Gobernador-Heneral Miguel Lopez de Legazpi in 1565. Many tourist come here whenever they visit Cebu.

Come on, let's go...

I've learned about this place and its history in the textbooks in school, but it's quite different when you see it real. It's like I was there seeing how things took place and how it started.

Let's go inside the Gallery area:

Today, Fort San Pedro is also a good location for pre-nuptials, birthdays, debuts, event functions and many others.
