The site of Intramuros was originally a large Malayan-Islamic settlement named "Maynilad", ruled by three chieftains Rajah Sulayman, Lakan Dula and Rajah Matanda. The name came from "may nilad", "nilad" being a water plant whose star-shaped flowers clustered in abundance along the low-lying riverbanks. The strategic location of Maynilad, being on the Pasig River and the Manila Bay, made it an ideal location for indigenous Tagalog tribes to trade with other Asian civilizations, including Chinese and Islamic merchants who had come from China, Borneo and Indonesia. Maynilad was also the seat of power for native chiefs who ruled the area before Europeans first arrived in Luzon.
In 1564, conquistadors led by Miguel López de Legazpi sailed from New Spain (Mexico) and arrived on the island of Cebu in February 13, 1565. There they established the first Spanish colony in the archipelago. Having heard of rich resources of Manila by local natives, López de Legazpi dispatched two of his Lieutenant-commanders, Martín de Goiti and Juan de Salcedo to explore the northern regions of the Visayas.
In 1570, the Spaniards arrived in the island of Luzon. After quarrels had erupted between the Islamic natives and the Spaniards; Goiti and López de Legazpi's soldiers waged war on the people, before they were able to take control and establish a permanent settlement in the area. In 1571 after the natives were defeated in battle, López de Legazpi made a peace pact with Rajah Sulayman, Rajah Lakandula and Rajah Matanda; who, in return, handed over Manila to the Spaniards.
Citing the rich resources and location of Manila; López de Legazpi declared the area as the new capital of the Spanish colony in the Philippines on June 24, 1571. The King of Spain, delighted at the new conquest achieved by López de Legazpi and his men, awarded the city a coat of arms and declaring it Ciudad Insigne y Siempre Leal ("Distinguished and ever loyal city").
The planning of the city of Manila was commenced by López de Legazpi who had become the first Governor general on the islands. He established forts, roads, churches and schools. The plans for Intramuros were based on King Philip II's Royal Ordinance issued on July 3, 1573 in San Lorenzo, Spain. It's design was based upon a medieval castle structure and covered 64 hectares of land, surrounded by 8 metre thick stones and high walls that rise 22 metres.
Intramuros was completed in 1606 and it served as the center of political, military and religious power of the Spaniards during the time that the Philippines was a colony of Spain. Inside Intramuros; there are several Roman Catholic churches, like the Manila Cathedral and the San Agustin Church, convents and church-run schools, such as the Universidad de Santo Tomás, the Colegio de San Juan de Letran and the Ateneo Municipal de Manila, which were usually being run by religious orders such as the Dominicans, Augustinians, Franciscans and Jesuits. The Governor's Palace, the official residence of the Spanish Viceroyalties to the Philippines was originally in Intramuros before it was officially moved to Malacañang Palace and Fort Santiago. Only Spaniards and Mestizos were allowed to take part on political issues and take residence inside the walled city, Christian natives and Chinese were also allowed inside, but Spanish officials prevented them living there. The vast majority of the natives and Chinese residents lived outside the walled city.

This original old photograph is in my personal collection. The photo was faded and scratched. This photo was digitally cleaned up and rejuvenated to a better image. Still not a good image but since it is a one of a kind picture it is important to save.
I found the Aduana the most fabulous of all the ruins in Intramuros. Like most buildings, it was partially restored in the 1990's: the exterior walls were rebuilt to reach the height of the original roof. The gates and windows are barred but not sealed, allowing you to get glimpses of spectacular jungle and architectural decay inside. Curiously, Aduana wasn't destroyed during the Battle of Manila -- no, it perished in a fire in 1979. Truly sad.

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.

Intramúros ang tawag sa lungsod na itinatag ni Miguel Lopez de Legazpi na nasa mismong kinalalagyan ng kuta ni Rajah Soliman sa may bunganga ng Ilog Pasig noong 1571. Ang Intramuros o “sa loob ng mga pader” ang kinikilalang sentro ng pamahalaan, ekonomiya, relihiyon, at edukasyon noong panahon ng Espanyol. Matatagpuan sa 60 ektaryang saklaw nito ang mga pangunahing simbahan, kumbento, eskuwelehan, at gusaling pampamahalaan ng mga kolonisador. Pawang mga Espanyol lamang ang maaaring manirahan sa loob ng nasabing lungsod maliban sa mga Filipinong kutsero, labandera, at kasambahay na nagtatrabaho sa loob ng Intramuros. Sa matagal na panahon, ang Intramuros ang tinatawag na Maynila.
Katulad ng mga lungsod sa Europa noong panahong iyon, napapaligiran ang Intramuros ng tubig at pinoprotektahan ng makakapal na pader. May walong puwerta o pintuan ito, kagaya ng Puerta de Parian, Puerta Real, at Puerta Isabel at mga moog na tulad ng San Andres, Sta. Lucia at Santiago na ipinatayo ng mga gobernador-heneral ng Filipinas hanggang 1872. Nakaluklok din sa Intramuros ang Katedral ng Maynila; ang mga simbahan ng San Agustin, Santo Domingo, at San Ignacio; mga gusaling pang-administrasyon kagaya ng Ayuntamiento at Intendencia; at mga eskuwelahan tulad ng lumang Ateneo de Manila, Colegio San Juan de Letran, dating Unibersidad ng Santo Tomas, at Colegio de Santa Isabel.
Malaking bahagi ng Intramuros ay nasira noong Ikalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig. May programang inilunsad upang muling ayusin o ibalik sa dating anyo ang mga estrukturang nasira ng digmaan at ng pagpapabaya. Ang nasabing lugar ay kasalukuyang isa sa pinakatanyag na pook na pinapasyalan ng mga Filipino at banyagang turista sa Maynila. (MBL) (ed
Pre-Hispanic period
The strategic location of Manila along the bay and at the mouth of Pasig River made it an ideal location for the Tagalog and Kapampangan tribes and kingdoms to trade with merchants from China, India, Borneo and Indonesia.
Before the first arrival of Europeans on Luzon island, the island was part of the Majapahit empire around the 14th century, according to the epic eulogy poem Nagarakretagama which described its conquest by Mahārāja Hayam Wuruk. The region was invaded around 1485 by Sultan Bolkiah and became a part of the Sultanate of Brunei. The site of Intramuros then became a part of the Islamic Kingdom of Maynila ruled by various Datus, Rajas and the Sultan.
Spanish conquest of Manila
In 1564, Spanish explorers led by Miguel López de Legazpi sailed from New Spain (now Mexico), and arrived on the island of Cebu on February 13, 1565, establishing the first Spanish colony in the Philippines. Having heard of the rich resources in Manila from the natives, Legazpi dispatched two of his lieutenant-commanders, Martín de Goiti and Juan de Salcedo to explore the northern regions of the Visayan islands.
The Spaniards arrived on the island of Luzon in 1570. After quarrel and misunderstandings between the Islamic natives and the Spaniards, they fought for the control of the land and settlements. After several months of warfare, the natives were defeated, and the Spaniards made a peace pact with the tribal councils of Rajah Sulaiman III, Rajah Lakandula, and Rajah Matanda who handed over Manila to the Spaniards.
Legazpi declared the area of Manila as the new capital of the Spanish colony on June 24, 1571 because of its strategic location and rich resources. He also proclaimed the sovereignty of the Monarchy of Spain over the all the archipelago. King Philip II of Spain delighted at the new conquest achieved by Legazpi and his men, awarded the city a coat of arms and declaring it as: Ciudad Insigne y Siempre Leal (English: "Distinguished and Ever Loyal City"). Intramuros was settled and became the political, military and religious center of the Spanish Empire in Asia.
