[2025 Iloilo City Attraction] Travel Guide for Fort San Pedro (Updated Jul)

I have always seen the Queen City of the South as “the place that has it all.” A place of great history, a church for the pilgrims, a temple for the believers, inexpensive but taste-worthy restaurants, and the place with the oldest and smallest bastion in the Philippines, just to name a few. Though I know that Cebu has gotten quite a “not-so-good” reputation that tourists, even locals alike will balk at the idea of wandering the streets of the city. You need not to go far to visit Intramuros because nestled in the Queen City of the South is a mini-Intramuros. Fuerte de San Pedro is a military defense structure in Cebu, built by the Spanish under the command of Miguel López de Legazpi, first governor of the Captaincy General of the Philippines. Operating hours: 7:00AM to 7:00PM daily How to get there? From the Basilica, facing the exit to the Magellan’s Cross or the city hall, turn left and walk. You will passby the side of the Island Souvenirs and upon reaching the highway, Fort San Pedro is situated inside the Plaza Independencia. #urbanexplorer #maydaytrip

One of the tourist attractions in Cebu, Fort San Diego! Located in the center of Cebu, there is a fort. You can see soldiers at the door and take photos with them. They are very kind! #fortsanpedro

Pay 30 Pesos for entry to this historical place. I get to know the history of Cebu and how it all probably started. It’s a good place to learn a brief history about the city. I rated it highly because besides being a literal 17th century historical place, it is a contrast to the area of modern Cebu. Something different to see in town; a must-visit. #Philippines #炎夏好去處
