Fort San Pedro (Iloilo)

Fort San Pedro, also called Fuerza de la Nuestra Señora del Rosario, was a military defense structure in Iloilo City, Philippines. It was built in 1602 by Pedro Bravo de Acuña to protect the city from Moro and Dutch attacks, and was completely destroyed during World War II.

It was declared an important cultural property in 2016 by the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) and is the second Spanish-built fort in the Philippines and Asia, following the one in Cebu (also named Fort San Pedro).
