A short walk away is Magellan's Cross, the spot where Christianity was first introduced to Cebu. Not far away is Fort San Pedro, the first military stronghold in the country. Its walls were restored in the late ‘60s and a garden is laid out in the inner courtyard, an enticing refuge not far from the hustle and bustle of the harbour.

Your last stop is Casa Gorordo - the Parian district in today's downtown area which was the residential home of Cebu's wealthy at the turn of the century. Of the remaining four houses, the Gorordo residence was restored and furnished in the style of the period.
