Intramuros: Puerta Real
PUERTA REAL, INTRAMUROS, MANILA
Puerta Real (translated "Royal Gate") is one of the famous gates to enter the Walled City of Old Manila, Intramuros. It was served as main Royal entrance of the Governors General, the friars, and the higher authorities in the Philippine Islands. Its present gate is strategically positioned based on the defense plans for Manila especially during the incumbency of Gov. Gen. Jose Basco y Vargas on 1780. The gate was damaged during the Liberation of Manila, but eventually restored by Intramuros Administration in 1969 with additional works in 1989.
