ABOUT CASA MANILA
Casa Manila is one of the museums and antique shops located within the Plaza San Luis Complex inside the ancient Walled City of Intramuros, Manila. The design was based on the concept of "Bahay Na Bato", an upgraded version of nipa hut or "Bahay Kubo" with accents of Spanish, Austronesian, and Chinese architecture. It is also a three-story structure modeled on the Binondo house of the prominent merchant Don Severino Mendoza. The house features traditional rooms as well as antique objects the rich used during the 17th to 19th centuries.

Spontaneous trip to Manila to check out some historical sites! Great meal in Wai Ying to start the trip and a couple of hours walking under the sun and around museums in the afternoon. Great way to bring the long weekend to a close!
Intramuros, located along the southern bank of the Pasig River, was built by the Spaniards in the 16th century and is the oldest district of the city of Manila, the capital of the Philippines. Its name, in Latin, intramuros, literally "within the walls", meaning within the wall enclosure of the city/fortress, also describes its structure as it is surrounded by thick, high walls and moats. During the Spanish colonial period, Intramuros was considered Manila itself.
In the summer of 1942, the U.S. Army called up a skinny California boy barely out of his teens. But at 5’9’’ and 125 pounds, Private Glenn W. Eve was deemed unfit for combat.
He might have spent the duration of World War II at a desk, except that he had field skills the Army needed – he was a gifted artist, draftsman and photographer who'd spent the previous four years working for the Walt Disney Co.
In July 1944, they promoted him to private first class (Pfc) and assigned him to the Signal Photo Corps, bound for the Pacific to document the engagement. This is his collection, never before published.

The Aduana was the custom house during the Spanish regime. The structure was built from 1823 to 1829 based on the designs of Spanish engineer Tomas Cortes. The 1863 earthquake left the structure unsound that it was ordered to be demolished in 1872. The Custom offices were moved across the Pasig River to the San Nicholas area.
During the American Period, Senate President Manuel Luis Quezon’s office was housed in the Intendencia (while Speaker Sergio Osmena occupies the Ayuntamiento). The building was damaged by the Japanese bombs in 1941 and by the American artillery in 1945.
A new building was built in 1876 to house some of the Custom offices, the Intendencia General de Hacienda, the Treasury and the new Casa de Moneda (Mint). The building became popularly known as the Intendencia or civil administration office.
The Intendencia was restored to house offices of the Central Bank, the National Treasury and the Commission on Elections until a fire left it in ruins in 1979.

Intramuros (Spanish for "within the walls") is the 0.67 square kilometers (0.26 sq mi) historic walled area within the modern city of Manila, the capital of the Philippines. It is administered by the Intramuros Administration (IA), which was created through the Presidential Decree No. 1616 signed on April 10, 1979. IA is tasked to rebuild, redevelop, administer and preserve the remaining pre-war buildings, structures and fortifications of Intramuros.
Intramuros is also called the Walled City, and at the time of the Spanish Colonial Period was synonymous to the City of Manila. Other towns and arrabales (suburbs) located beyond the walls are referred to as "extramuros", the Spanish for "outside the walls". It was the seat of government and political power when the Philippines was a component realm of the Spanish Empire. It was also the center of religion, education and economy. The standard way of life in Intramuros became the standard way of life throughout the Philippines. The Manila Galleons which sailed the Pacific for 250 years, carried goods to and from Intramuros (Manila) and Acapulco, Mexico.
Construction of the defensive walls was started by the Spanish colonial government in the late 16th century to protect the city from foreign invasions. The Walled City was originally located along the shores of the Manila Bay, south of the entrance to Pasig River. Guarding the old city is Fort Santiago, its citadel located at the mouth of the river. Land reclamations during the early 20th century subsequently obscured the walls and fort from the bay. The Battle of Manila in 1945 devastated Intramuros. It is the place where the occupying Japanese Imperial Army made their last stand against Allied soldiers and Filipino guerillas. The battle destroyed its churches, universities, houses, and government buildings, most of which dated back to the Spanish Colonial Period.
Intramuros, particularly the Fort Santiago, was designated as a National Historical Landmark in 1951. The fortifications of Intramuros, collectively called "Fortifications of Manila", were declared as National Cultural Treasures, by the National Museum of the Philippines, owing to its architectural, scientific and archaeological significance. San Agustin Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the Baroque Churches of the Philippines, is located within Intramuros.
This is Colegio de San Juan de Letran in Intramuros, Manila. The arched passageway is part of the walls of Intramuros. It is located near Puerta Isabel II, the gate dedicated to the queen of Spain.

Isidro Ancheta (1882-1946)
Intramuros
signed and dated (lower right)
oil on wood
18 1/2” x 25 1/2” (47 cm x 65 cm)
Opening bid: P 140,000
Provenance:
Private Collection, USA
Lot 148 of the Leon Gallery Auction on 9 September 2017. Please see leon-gallery.com/ for more details.
Transcendent expressiveness is the moving quality in all of Ancheta’s works, and viewers who are fully sensitive to it will take almost as a matter of course the charm of the monumental, if ruined, architecture, the bits of landscape, the stridently beautiful foliage, and other visual accessories of all sorts, which would distinguish this work even in, say, a gallery of early Italian painting.
