Juned — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 02:14:41 +0000

Suprisingly, I have not been to this Fort and its beside the Metropolitan Museum. I have heard about and read about it but I have never visited it. It is not as big as it big brothers in Intramuros that guards the gates of the walled city but it is eequally interesting. Built in 1584, its task was to guard the route or road from Cavite to Manula. The fort was also built to guard the rear of Intramuros.
