Magellan's Cross is housed in a chapel just next to Sto. Niño Church. It is believed that it was planted by Portuguese and Spanish Explorers ordered by Ferdinand Magellan when they arrived in Cebu on April 1521.

Third destination. Fort San Pedro
It is located 3 blocks from Magellan's Cross. It is the smallest, oldest triangular bastion fort in the country that was built in 1738. This served as the nucleus of the first Spanish settlement in the Philippines.

This is the end of their City tour, tired and feel dirty due to the sweat all day. We decided to go home and get some rest and a bath before dinner. And the awaited last activity in Cebu, the Crown Regency Adventure! :)
