What's inside Intramuros - A Day Full of History

At dahil wala akong magawa sa rest day ko, napag-usapan lang to, tapos ayun, umalis ako kinabukasan - my destination - Intramuros, Manila. Intramuros, or the "Walled City," is one of the sites that has huge significance in Philippine history. I was captivated by the structures inside these walls, kaya kailangan ko talagang malibot ito. Good thing, nagkaroon ng Open House in Celebration of World Tourism Day so the entrance fees of Fort Santiago, Baluarte de San Diego, and Casa Manila are free. Not only that, there are also free bicycle tours around Plaza Roma, and difference performances, food, and art at Baluarte de San Diego.

About Intramuros

Intramuros, the historic “Walled City” of Manila, stands as a living reminder of the Philippines’ Spanish colonial past. Built in the late 1500s, this fortified district once served as the political, religious, and educational center of Spanish Manila. Today, its cobblestone streets, stone walls, and centuries-old churches transport visitors back in time, offering a captivating blend of history, culture, and architecture. A stroll through Intramuros feels like stepping into a different era—where every corner tells a story of resilience and heritage.
