About
Fort sa Cotta is one of the Spanish-built fortresses in the Philippines. The main purpose of this edifice is the same as the function of Fort Santiago in Manila and Fort sa Pedro in Cebu which is to protect the city/town against the attacks of the Moro pirates. This sturdy structure is made up of coral stones; thus, during World War 2, Fort sa Cotta served as a garrison, barracks, and storage area for the military. Today, it is one of the most popular historical sites and a landmark in Misamis Occidental and the entire Northern Mindanao region. During my visit, it was closed due to renovation.
How to Get There
- From Labo Airport (OZC), take a taxi or tricycle into the city center and head south on Don Anselmo Bernad Avenue to reach the hall in about 10–15 minutes.
- From Davao, Zamboanga Peninsula, and nearby provinces, there are buses at their own Integrated Bus Terminal where you can ride on a Rural Transit bus or UV Express van to Ozamiz. Dipolog City takes 5.5 hours, while Pagadian City takes 3 hours.
