Fort San Andres and Fort Santiago – on two adjacent hills in the rustic town of Romblon, twin Spanish forts were constructed from coral blocks and bricks between 1573 and 1644. They provide a vantage view of the town at 156 feet above sea level. These sentinels of the bygone era once served as protection of the town against Moro raiders and Dutch pirates.

Through the centuries, the remnants of the twin forts have continued to draw the attention of the visitors as they denote the Romblomanon existence and the role he played in history. Today, the San Andres Fort is now the home of Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services (PAGASA) Romblon Observatory, while Fort Santiago is completely covered by soil, grass, and bushes.
