Spanish Heritage in Zamboanga 🇵🇭

#timetotravel This is a 17th century military defense fortress built by Spain when they colonized the Philippines. Fort Pilar has now been converted as a recreational park where you can relax and stroll around. Just feel the historic vibe of this place. Also, when you enter Fort Pilar you will notice that there some atrificats and antiques diplayed inside and this is because this place is used as a branch of the National Museum on the Philippines in Zamboanga City. Very interesting and educational displays and exhibits which show the rich culture and history of Mindanao. Entrance Fee: Free of charge. Address: N.S. Valderosa Street · Zamboanga City. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #history #culture #philippines #museum #fort #zamboanga
