Spanish gate in subic, not worth it. If u go there.. no parking area. Its not really preserved and looks neglected. Sadly if u want to take a photo of the facade..just go infont and take photo of the outside surrounding coz it look much better.

Spanish Gate was built in 1885 when the Spanish Navy authorized the construction of the Arsenal de Olongapo, after King Alfonso II of Spain issued a royal decree declaring Subic Bay Philippines a naval port in 1884.
Another historical landmark within the area. Benches are available to rest on. Not much to see but history buffs will still appreciate.
Then and Now 1918/2018
Honestly not much to see seriously would have missed it if I wasn't walking by, amongst the weeds
A little sweet spot for a little bit of history.
A Spanish era facade of a fort now in ruins.an Asian fusion resto beside it uses the name
The Spanish Gate, located at the corner of Dewey Avenue and Samson Road in Olongapo City, was built in 1885 when the Spanish Navy authorized the construction of the Arsenal de Olongapo, after King Alfonso II of Spain issued a royal decree declaring Subic Bay as a naval port in 1884. The gate served as the West Gate of the arsenal and faced the Spanish-era settlement of Olongapo. A high wall of locally quarried stone connected it to the south gate that faced the waterfront. On November 26, 2013, the Spanish Gate was declared a historical landmark by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines. The NHCP affixed on the wall of the gate a marker which reads \Himpilang Pandagat ng Look ng Subic\.
