Plaza Independencia

  Plaza Independencia sits at the southern edge of Cebu City, next to the historic Fort San Pedro. Established in 1863, it played a crucial role as a site for political gatherings and celebrations throughout Cebu's history. This sprawling public square serves as a central gathering place, featuring well-maintained gardens, benches, and an impressive monument dedicated to the country's heroes. Visitors can explore the surrounding area, catch local events, or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll among the palm trees, especially vibrant during the Sinulog Festival in January. With a blend of culture, history, and community spirit, Plaza Independencia offers a taste of Cebu's lively urban life.
