Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Carved stone work above the entrance to Santa Isabel Fort. Taytay Fort was built starting in 1667 on the east coast of Palawan facing the Sulu Sea to defend against Moro pirates. Also known as Sulu pirates, they were Muslim outlaws who primarily raided the Spanish. (The Moro people in general opposed the Spanish.) At the time, the site was a massive offshore rock formation, creating logistical challenges such that construction continued until 1738. Coral blocks were held in place with a mortar of lard, egg whites, and lime. Access from the mainland was provided by a wooden bridge, a portion of which could probably be raised at night for added security. In the 19th century the fort was named Santa Isabel Fort (Fuerza de Santa Isabel; Kutang Santa Isabel) in honor of Spain’s Queen Isabela II (ruled 1833 to 1868). Before Spanish colonization, northern Palawan (pronounced ‘puh-LAH-wahn’) was part of the Kingdom of Taytay (pronounced ‘tie-tie’). The town of Taytay was founded by the Spanish in 1623.
