Post war building in Intramuros located in the old wall city of Manila. Still standing and in good shape after more than 60 years.
there is another world around us
secrets hidden in every brick wall
within every forsaken alley,
a truth begging to be discovered.

draws me in to uncover the secrets
the city has held for too long..

Plaza Roma, Intramuros, Manila, Philippines
The main façade of the Cathedral is graced by statues of saints sculpted in Roman travertine stone, originally made of molave wood in the old cathedral.
An imposing rose-glass window, set above the main portal, accentuates the Cathedral's façade, typical of Romanesque revival architecture.
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 Tour on a "Kalesa" ride for P250 only for 30 minutes. Not worth it. Don't waste your money on this.
Most of the buildings in Intramuros were destroyed during the war. Much of the site was either left unbuilt or became a dump area for the locals.
Many filipinos died in this place during the war.

Intramuros, Manila
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.
