Fort San Pedro is a triangular bastion fort built by Spanish conquistadors in the 18th century to defend against Muslim raiders and later served as a prison and barracks. Today, it is a well-preserved landmark featuring a museum with artifacts from the Spanish colonial era, including cannons, documents, and religious items. Visitors can walk along the ramparts for views of the harbor and explore the lush gardens inside. The site offers a quiet escape and a tangible connection to Cebu's strategic military past.
