    Fort Asturias, Jolo, Sulu

    The Fort of the Princess of Asturias is one of the remarkable vestiges of the Spanish occupation of
    Jolo. Built in honor of the Princess of Spain, this building was converted into a U.S. military
    headquarters, where the Spanish forces left the island in 1899. It was also used as the police
    camp of Philippine police up to1942. During Japanese rule, the fort served as a dungeon where
    Filipinos were tortured.

    Basilica of Santo Nino


    The Basilica del Santo Nino, or commonly known as Santo Niño Basilica, is one of the most popular
    landmarks you should never miss out when in Cebu. Founded in 1565 as the oldest Roman Catholic
    church in the country, it was believed to be built over the spot where the most famous religious icon in the
    Philippines, the statue of the Santo Niño de Cebú was found. This image of the Child Jesus dates to
    Magellan’s time and now the centre piece of Sinulog Festival, the Cebu’s largest annual event. Besides
    admiring the intricate frescoes and interior of the church, visitors can also enjoy time at the Pilgrim Center
    and Basilica del Sto. Niño Museum with many relics and statues in exhibit.
