Manila | A walk in Intramuros



It was a fine Saturday when we decided to take a short trip in Intramuros to take some pictures of some historical stuff inside the place.  

Intramuros or the Walled City is one of the old cities in Manila, the capital of the Philippines. The Latin word Intramuros literally means “within the walls”. 

This is the main gate of Fort Bonifacio.
Fort Bonifacio or Fuerza de Santiago in Spanish and Moog ng Santiago in Tagalog is situated in Intramuros, one of the historical places in Manila. It was named to the patron saint of Spain named Saint James the Great (Santiago in Spanish).It was first built by Miguel López de Legazpi, a Spanish conquistador, for the new established city of Manila in the Philippines.
