Fort San Pedro

This guide to Fort San Pedro in Cebu City follows the coral-stone bastion from its 1565 origins as a wooden stockade through its rebuilding in stone by 1738, and the long line of forces who fought to hold it, from Filipino revolutionaries to American and Japanese occupiers. It traces the fort's stranger turns too, as barracks, schoolhouse, and emergency hospital during the 1945 liberation of the city. Listen for what its courtyard became once the fighting finally stopped.
