Album Info:
(DSC01329) By 1968, the façade quarters and walls of the original structures of Fort San Pedro were so obliterated that only the two towers were recognizable. Plans for the restoration of the fort were started. Plans and estimate for the restoration of the Fort were completed by Architect Leonardo Concepcion, who had completed his MA in Restoration in Madrid, Spain. The Fort San Pedro restoration is a tedious, time and labor consuming project. To restore the Fort as close to the original as possible, coral stones which were hauled from under the sea along Cebu Coastal towns were utilized. Delivered and crudely cut to the restoration site, the fort laborers did the final cutting and polishing to make the blocks fit each other. Work progressed slowly but the façade, the main building (Cuerpo de Guardia), top walk and the observatory roof garden were faithfully restored after one and a half years.
