Established in 1565 under the command of Miguel López de Legazpi, conqueror of the Philippines, Fort San Pedro has served as an army garrison, a rebel stronghold, prison camp and the city zoo. Today's partly ruined structure, dating from the late 18th century, includes an impressive gateway, a small section of ramparts and a small museum. Its peaceful walled garden is a perfect retreat from the chaos and madness of downtown Cebu, especially at sunset.

"Cebu has a lot of history with structures that date back hundreds of years, including the Fort San Pedro, which is another popular tourist spot in the city. It is the oldest fort you can find in the Philippines. The Fort San Pedro was built by General Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, a Spanish leader, to use as a protection against the Muslim warriors. It was also used by other colonizers but for a somewhat different reason. During the American colonial period, the Fort San Pedro became their residence as well as a place where they educated the Cebuanos. During the Japanese era, the fort was used as a barrack, a hospital, and prison." - from SouthPole Central Hotel
