Cavite City - A National Cultural Treasure

In 2019, the NMP declared the entire Cavite peninsula, where the fortified town of Cavite Puerto (now Cavite City) is located, as an NCT.

Included in this declaration was the old causeway, now M. Valentino Street to Ramon Samonte Park to Naval Station, the Sta. Monica Church belfry, main gate and western portion of Fort San Felipe, and “the sites, vestiges and archaeological remains of its Spanish colonial era fortifications, military buildings and installations, shipyards, public monuments, public buildings, churches and religious buildings, houses and private establishments, streets and other infrastructure, together with associated anchorages and underwater sites in Bacoor and Cañacao Bay, and its intrinsic natural setting overall relative to the surrounding water.”
