Intramuros (Latin, "within the walls") is the oldest district and historic core of Manila, the capital of the Philippines. Also called the Walled City, it was the original city of Manila and was the seat of government when the Philippines was a component realm of the Spanish Empire. Districts beyond the walls were referred as the extramuros of Manila, meaning "outside the walls".
Construction of the defensive walls was started by Spanish colonial government in the late 16th century to protect the city from foreign invasions. The 0.67-square-kilometre (0.26 sq mi) 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.
Intramuros was heavily damaged during the battle to recapture the city from the Japanese Imperial Army during the Second World War. Reconstruction of the walls was started in 1951 when Intramuros was declared a National Historical Monument, which is continued to this day by the Intramuros Administration (IA) [Wikipedia.org]

Isidro Ancheta (1882-1946)
Intramuros
signed (lower left)
oil on wood
8 1/2” x 13” (22 cm x 33 cm)
Opening bid: P 40,000
Provenance:
Private Collection, USA
Lot 44 of the Leon Gallery / Asian Cultural Council auction on 20 February 2016. For more details, please go to www.leon-gallery.com
Isidro Ancheta’s use of the Philippine Sun’s radiance is truly a magnificent spectacle. Redolent of the Amorsolo backlighting technique, this work shows an extremely strong contrast of tones between the shade and the outdoor brilliance.
Ancheta immortalizes the very moment, as a kalesa, or carriage, is set in the middle of the scene waiting — basking in the shade from the scorching heat.
Manila Metropolitan Cathedral, the ecclesiastical seat of the Archdiocese of Manila.
Plaza Roma, Intramuros, Manila, Philippines
Officially established on September 21, 1581, the first Cathedral of Manila was constructed out of wood, bamboo, and nipa — materials which were readily available at the time.
Throughout the centuries, the cathedral had been ravaged by natural disasters and bombed during the Battle of Liberation in 1945. The present-day structure is actually the eighth cathedral which rose from the desolate ruins of its predecessors.
According to wikipedia... 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. 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.
This is the entrance to Fort Santiago, a defense fortress built for Spanish conquistador, Miguel López de Legazpi. During World War II it was captured by the Japanese, and sustained heavy damage - as did the rest of Intramuros - from American and Filipino mortar shells during the Battle of Manila in February 1945.
