Historic Landmarks in Cebu
Walk through historic and cultural landmarks in the heart of Cebu City- Fort San Pedro, Plaza Independencia and the New Malacanang of the South. Stroll down the old Parian quarter to Casa Gorordo museum, the Magellans Cross.
We know that Magellan later arrived in Cebu, celebrating a mass and planting a cross on April 21, 1521. The original cross planted in Cebu still exists today at the same spot where it was planted. One of the most recognizable landmarks of Cebu, the Magellan’s Cross, houses the original cross, now encased in a Tindalo Wood Cross to protect it from the elements.
