Fort San Pedro of Cebu


After the foreigners pass by, I got the chance to pose
at the facade of the Fort San Pedro of Cebu
The Fort San Pedro is one of the stops when visiting the tourist spots of Cebu City. It is facing the Plaza Independencia of Cebu City. Feeling the oldness of the fort and breathing in the cool air while seated on top of the wall fortress is a serene experience especially in the late afternoon. We saw a lot of foreigners and local tourists going in and out of this favorite spot.  We also saw pre-nuptial photo shoot in the park inside the fort.

In the  Plaza Independencia, the Malacanang of Cebu can be found. And just about two blocks away is the Magellan's Cross and Basilica de Santo Nino.

Vestidor of Hipolito Labra, a Kaputinero during the anti-Spanish revolution in Cebu. He was the longest serving Cabeza de barangay of Sapangdaku, Guadalupe from 1913-1967, 54 years. During the anti Spanish revolution in Cebu, the katipuneros led by Leon Kilat believe that wearign the vestidor would make them invincible.
