Fort San Felipe, Military fort in Cavite City, Philippines
The fortress features granite blocks with 30-foot walls and a wide stairway leading to the top of remaining bastions and fortifications.
The Spanish military constructed Fort San Felipe in 1609 to protect the first port town of Cavite, serving as a crucial defense structure.
The site holds naval memorabilia collections, including antique cannons and cannonballs, representing the military heritage of the Philippines.
Fort San Felipe stands within Naval Base Cavite of the Philippine Navy, requiring special authorization for visits to the 9-hectare compound.
The execution of thirteen Filipino patriots outside Fort San Felipe in 1896 marked a turning point in Philippine independence movements.
