Museo Sugbo

The Cárcel de Cebú was built in the 1870s as the provincial jail and held prisoners until 2004. The cell blocks now run as galleries around a courtyard, one per period: pre-colonial, Spanish, American, the Japanese occupation, and the post-war republic.

The building does not hide what it was. Barred windows and cell doors are left in place, and the Japanese-occupation gallery occupies the block that was used for political detainees.
