Bienvenidos a Zamboanga!
It was my first time to visit Zamboanga City last week. Dubbed as Asia's latin city, Zamboanga has its peculiar charm as reflected by its rich history and melting pot of languages. One of the first things I check out when I'm visiting a new city is its museums and galleries. The must-visit museum in the city is the historic Fort Pilar (Real Fuerte de Nuestra Senora del Pilar de Zaragoza), a military defense fortress built during the 17th century.
The National Museum of the Philippines-Zamboanga in Fort Pilar is adjacent to the shrine of Nuestra Senora La Virgen del Pilar de Zamboanga. The museum's fortress door opens to an imposing and spacious courtyard surrounded by buildings that house permanent and featured exhibitions.
