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. Taken with Nikon FE2, Nikkor 50mm 1:2
