Fuerza de San José

Fuerza de San José is a 17th-century Spanish fortification located in the municipality of Banton, on the homonymous island, in Romblon, Philippines. Together with Fuerza de San Andrés and Fuerza de Santiago, it is part of the ancient fortification system of the Sibuyan Sea islands, built under the command of Agustín de San Pedro in order to defend the locals from the attacks that devastated the coasts of the archipelago, especially Moorish incursions from the southern islands. Considered by locals a symbol of greatness and resistance, it played a fundamental role in the defense of Banton in the first decades of Spanish rule of the region, and witnessed numerous battles.
