INTRAMUROS IN MANILA Take a stroll through history lane within the walled city of Intramuros in Manila. This 64-hectare Spanish fortress was erected by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi and was destroyed by the end of World War II. However, the ruins remain very alive today and can be explored via Intramuros tours. The area has become home to several universities and establishments. You can find centuries-old churches like the grand Manila Cathedral and San Agustin Church, the oldest church in the Philippines. Another Intramuros attraction is Fort Santiago, a citadel that served as headquarters for armies and foreign powers. It is a historically significant site where the national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, was imprisoned before his execution. #WowPhilippines
