Trece Martires, officially City of Trece Martires (Tagalog: Lungsod ng Trece Martires) is a component city in the province of Cavite, Philippines. The city was the provincial capital until President Ferdinand Marcos transferred it to Imus on June 11, 1977. Today, it still hosts many offices of the provincial government.
The city was named after the Thirteen Martyrs of Cavite, a group of prominent Caviteños who were convicted of rebellion and executed by the Spanish colonial government on September 12, 1896 in the old port city of Cavite during the Philippine Revolution. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 155,713 people, and an income classification of 1st class.
Trece Mártires is located in the heart of Cavite. It is bounded by Tanza town to the north and west; Naic to the west; Amadeo and Indang to the south; and General Trias to the east. It is located about 48.3 km (30.0 mi) from Manila, the capital of the Philippines, or about an hour by car.
Trece Martires City is politically subdivided into 13 barangays (4 urban and 9 rural). The city was subdivided into thirteen barangays, which was planned by Senator. Justiniano Montano and Congressman Jose Cajulis when creating the city. Each barangay was named after one of the Thirteen Martyrs of Cavite to commemorate their bravery and heroism. Below are the names of the thirteen barangays and their previous names before the City's Charter was passed on May 24, 1954.
