Fort San Felipe (Cavite)
Fort San Felipe () is a military fortress in Cavite City, in the Province of Cavite, Philippines. It was constructed by Spanish military in 1609 in the first port town of ''Cavite'', the historic core of the present and larger Cavite City, for its protection. Less than half of the original historic structure survive today. The remaining structure is made of granite blocks with 30-foot high walls and features a wide stairway leading to the top of the bastions and remaining walls. Naval memorabilia including antique cannons and cannon balls decorate the lawns of the fortification. Fort San Felipe is located within the Naval Base Cavite of the Philippine Navy and is not open to the public.〔("Fort San Felipe" ). Wow Cavite. Retrieved on 2014-10-21.〕
At present, the name Fort San Felipe also refers to the area of the present Cavite City where the first historic port town ''Cavite'' (also known as ''Cavite Nuevo'' then ''Cavite Puerto'') and the Cavite Arsenal (now Naval Base Cavite) were located. It is now part of the San Roque district of Cavite City.〔Dela Rosa, Joy (2007). ("About Cavite City" ). Cavite Library and Museum. Retrieved on 2014-10-21.〕
==History==
As early as 1591, Gov. Gomez Perez Dasmariñas recognized the strategic importance of Cavite Puerto as the gateway to the City of Manila and moved toward its fortification. It was in fact at this isthmus, two decades earlier, that Miguel de Legazpi hid his ships prior to the attack in Manila.〔("Fuerza de San Felipe Neri" ). Muog. Retrieved on 2014-10-21.〕
