Spanish colonial fortifications in the Philippines

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Map of thePresidios built in the Philippines during the 1600s, inFortress of Empire by Rene Javellana, S. J. (1997)

TheSpanish fortifications of the Philippines, orfuerzas, arestrongholds constructed byFilipinos andSpaniards primarily for protection against local and foreign aggressors during theSpanish colonial period, and during the subsequent American and Japanese occupations. Structures built includedfortresses,watchtowers, and bastions. Many are badly damaged, either due to old age or past conflicts. Currently, there are initiatives for restorations of all forts, beginning when the Baluarte Luna ofLa Union and theIntramuros ofManila were restored in the 2010s. In 2013, a typhoon and earthquake hit Central Visayas and damaged numerous Spanish fortifications, leading to the largest restoration activity for fortifications in Philippine history.

Tentative list

[edit]

On May 16, 2006, a collection of five well-preserved examples ofSpanish Colonial architecture was added to theUNESCOWorld Heritage Tentative List in the Cultural category.[2]

The collection titled "Spanish Colonial Fortifications of the Philippines" include the following buildings located throughout the country:

  1. Fuerza de Capul,Northern Samar
  2. Dauis Watchtower,Dauis,Bohol
  3. Punta Cruz Watchtower,Maribojoc,Bohol
  4. Fuerza de San Andres,Romblon, Romblon
  5. Fuerza de Sta. Isabel,Taytay,Palawan

In 2015, by recommendation of UNESCO, the fortifications were removed from the tentative list of the Philippines as they 'will have a hard time meeting the standards of the organization'. The old town of Capul (Northern Samar), old town of Romblon (Romblon province), and old town of Taytay (Palawan) were recommended as possible heritage sites in the future once the Philippines submits them in the tentative list, along with a complete dossier.

Future reinclusion list

[edit]

Heritage groups have been advocating for the return of the fortifications in the tentative list, but with the inclusion of at least twenty-one more Spanish colonial fortifications throughout the country to maximize its potential to be included in theWorld Heritage List. Restoration activities on numerous fortifications throughout the country are currently ongoing in a bid to support the future nomination of the fortifications to UNESCO. However, some fortifications are within private lands, hindering cultural agencies of government from restoring those forts. The possible return of the fortifications in the tentative list is supported by both governments of thePhilippines andSpain. Other proposed properties are:

  1. Intramuros,Manila
  2. Cuartel de Santo Domingo,Santa Rosa, Laguna
  3. Fuerza de Cuyo,Cuyo, Palawan
  4. Fuerza de Cagayancillo,Cagayancillo,Palawan
  5. Real Fuerza de Nuestra Señora del Pilar de Zaragoza,Zamboanga City
