Parian Park is basically a showcase of the heritage and rich history of Cebu City and Cebu Province.

I went here at about 6:30 in the morning, to avoid the bad elements that are present during rush hours, hehe.

The Parian Fire Station, since 1954

The three churches in the upper left portion are probably Sto. Nino, Cebu Cathedral and i don’t know. Will research on this more, hehe..

The cone shape with triangular roof with wall is Port San Pedro.

I believe this one represents the first mass in Limasawa Island.

Lapu-Lapu fighting against Spanish soldiers.

The first mass and the people of Lapu-Lapu.

Whenever you see the photo the Magellan’s Cross, you think of Cebu City. Magellan’s Cross was erected by the Portuguese explorers when they arrived on April 21, 1521. It was named after their lead explorer, Ferdinand Magellan, or Fernando de Magallanes in Spanish.

The iconic fountain at Fuente Osmeña rotonda. See the old photo of Fuente Osmeña.
