Zamboanga City is an important commercial, educational, cultural, and tourist center on Mindanao. The city’s Spanish-style buildings, beautiful beaches, pleasant climate, and unique local customs attract tens of thousands of tourists to visit. The 1635-built Fort Pilar is one of the local famous landmarks, also an important historical and cultural heritage.
