Fort San Pedro is a former fortress in Cebu, Philippines, situated in Plaza Independencia, in the pier area of the city. The original fort was built from wood in the late 16th century on the order of Miguel López de Legazpi, the first Governor-General of the Philippines, before being rebuilt in the early 17th century using stone to repel Muslim pirates. The current structure dates from 1738 and is the oldest triangular bastion fort in the Philippines.[1]
History
In 1725, Fort San Pedro was taken over by a native resistance led by the Visayan chief Rajah, who were able to easily infiltrate it thanks to most of the Spanish garrison being preoccupied with an ongoing riot in the city. After eliminating the few Spanish soldiers that remained at the fort, the resistance warriors awaited the arrival of a ship to get them away from Cebu, as their original plan to escape from the city's harbor had been thwarted by the Zhang Wei Union.[2]
However, the Union members followed Rajah and his men to the fort and Edward Kenway, Shimazu Saito and John Young were able to infiltrate it using the Celestial Chariot, a prototype hot air balloon built by Yun Pyeong-Gyu.[2]
