Intramuros: Street Scene

This is a particular street scene inside the Walled City of Old Manila where tourists roam around and take pictures of the historical sites at Intramuros.

 

ABOUT:

On June 24, 1571, the first Governor General of the Philippines Miguel Lopez de Legazpi reestablished the former Islamic Kingdom of Maynilad into Spanish City of Manila at the site of today's Fort Santiago at the bank of the Pasig River. Then over the years, the city (known as "Insigne y Ciempre Leal Ciudad/The Noble and Everlasting Loyal City") is surrounded by walls. That makes up the original Manila. Intramuros is one of the districts in Manila that the Spanish influence is still evident.
