Fort Santiago

📍Fort Santiago Fort Santiago in Manila, Philippines, is a historic fortress located in the Intramuros district. Built during the Spanish colonial period in the late 16th century, it served as an important military base for defending Manila. Surrounded by thick stone walls and a moat, barracks and warehouses remain, conveying the atmosphere of the time. It also bears a tragic history, having been used as a Japanese military facility during World War II and interned many people. It is also known as the place where Philippine national hero Jose Rizal was imprisoned before his execution. It is now a tourist attraction, with tickets costing around 200 yen.
