The Magellan’s Cross

Taking it from the title it was given, the Magellan’s Cross is a Christian cross established by the Spanish and Portuguese explorers which was led by Ferdinand Magellan on the 21st of April, 1521. The cross was put there to celebrate the Roman Catholic baptism of a Philippine native, Rajah Humabon, his wife Queen Juana, and some of their followers.

Fort San Pedro

If you are looking to learn the rich and great history of Cebu, then you should probably go to Fort San Pedro. This establishment was started on the 8th of May, 1565 by local men and Spaniards and was ordered by Miguel Lopez de Legaspi. Although it has an entrance fee of Php30.00, I am extremely sure that you won’t regret touring inside the fort because it will take you centuries back and deeply know how the native Cebuanos and Spanish people were.

Mactan Shrine

The shrine was established to honor Rajah Lapu-Lapu for defeating the Spaniards and for conquering their land back from them. It is a life-sized statue with a painting that depicts the war of the Cebuanos against the Spaniards. Mactan Shrine is located in Punta Engano of Lapu Lapu City in Mactan Island.


Colon Street

The street was named after Cristobal Colon (Christopher Columbus) and the Colon Street is the oldest street in Philippine history. The construction of the early stages of the street was done in the year 1565 under the command of Miguel Lopez de Legaspi. If you want to “go back in time,” this is where you should go since it is the first ever street recorded in the Philippine history. You will see a lot of modernism now and you wouldn’t think that this street is history.

Crown Regency Hotel and Towers
