5 historic forts and citadels in Asia - SilverKris

"Dating from the Spanish colonial era and once commanded by Miguel López de Legazpi, this small, historic military fort is notable for its weathered yet intricately carved stone walls and an impressive gateway. It now functions as a museum showcasing sculptures, artefacts, paintings and period weaponry that tell Cebuano and Filipino history. The compact site contains 14 cannons and sits within easy walking distance of landmark religious sites such as Magellan’s Cross and the Basilica del Santo Niño." - Silkwinds, the inflight magazine of SilkAir
