Intramuros

Intramuros, often known as the "Walled City," is Manila's oldest neighborhood. Intramuros is incredibly well kept and remains significantly affected by the old Spanish Era, thus seeing it is like stepping back in time during the Spanish colonization. Intramuros, which was built in the 16th century, is both the old city of Manila and the Philippine seat of government. It withstood multiple foreign invasions, including those by the Netherlands, China, and Portugal, as well as natural calamities.
Centuries-old institutions, like as schools and churches, remained within the Intramuros' walls. One of these is the Colegio de San Juan de Letran, a 1620 college.

Manila Cathedral, located within Intramuros, is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila and has been visited by numerous popes, including Pope John Paul II, Pope Paul VI, and, most recently, Pope Francis. The San Agustin Church, Manila's oldest structure, is situated in Intramuros. It was erected in 1607. The San Agustin Church and the Manila Cathedral are the last of the seven churches that exist in Intramuros.

Intamuros is also home to the historic Fort Santiago, a castle that defends the old city of Intramuros. Fort Santiago was built by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, a Spanish conqueror, and is where Dr. Jose Rizal spent his last days on earth, imprisoned here before being killed, and where countless lives were lost in its cells. The triangle fort includes bastions on each corner and a circumference of 2030 feet.
