Album Info:

(DSC01344) The original structure of Fort San Pedro was temporarily built to provide immediate security to the members of the Spanish expedition encamped in the shores of Cebu. Construction commenced on May 8, 1565, eleven days after Miguel Lopez de Legaspi's arrival in the island. It was a triangular wooden palisade situated on a promontory and enclosing a few "wells" of fresh water (one is still operational). The two sides facing the sea were defended by artillery while the sides facing land was sufficiently defended by a wall. The fort was named San Pedro, most probably, in honor of Legaspi's flagship, the same ship that was sent back to Mexico after establishment of the Spanish settlement in Cebu.(Taken from the photo gallery along the fort's entranceway)
