Fort Santa Isabel, Spanish colonial fort in Taytay, Philippines.
The stone fortress stands on the waterfront of Taytay Bay with thick walls designed to protect against maritime attacks.
Built in 1667 as a wooden structure by Augustinian Recollect priests, the fort was later reconstructed in coral limestone in 1738.
The fort contains a small chapel that served as a religious center for Spanish soldiers and local residents during colonial times.
The National Museum currently manages the fort, which underwent extensive renovations between 2018 and 2019 to preserve its structure.
The fortress features original cannons that Spanish soldiers used to defend against Muslim raiders approaching in war boats.
