Album Info:

(DSC01341) Little was known about the activity of the fort from the time it was built until two centuries later in 1739 when the King of Spain, Phillip II desired information of the Islands. Governor General Tanon who was the Spanish ruler of the Islands at the time made the following report ... "Fuerza San Pedro" is described as built of stone mortar with a terreplein where guns are mounted. The fort contained the necessary buildings. The largest of these was the Cuerpo de Guardia where the personnel that manned the fort lived. Adjacent to it was Viviende del Teniente which was the living quarters of the Lieutenant of the Fort. In between the aforementioned buildings is a well. At one corner attached to walls of the bastion of San Miguel was the Almazanes del Polvora (powder magazine) where the fort’s supply of arms and gunpowder from Manila were stored."
