Walking Through Time in Intramuros, Manila.

Intramuros feels like stepping into a living history book. Its cobblestone streets, old stone walls, and Spanish-era architecture create an atmosphere that transports you to another time. You could share how wandering around Fort Santiago, San Agustin Church, or just riding a calesa (horse-drawn carriage) gave you a glimpse of Manila’s colonial past while still being surrounded by the vibrancy of modern city life. You might also reflect on how the contrast between old and new makes Intramuros such a unique and memorable place. 🧚🇵🇭❤️

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.
