A 16th-century Fortified City
Back to Intramuros
In Fort Santiago - there is a musuem of Rizal - it is nicely done but then one is askd to sign a visitor's book whih also includes a list of donations patently over written by the monkey who stays there - showing that other visitors have given like 2000 php donations

Right in the heart of Manila's ocean front area. most of the old fort is open to expore unguided. They have a very nice shrine to Rizal. Its wonderful to walk the walls of the fort, and look out and imagine what Manila was like back in the colonial days. Still have some old cannons over looking the Pasig river.

If you visit Intramuros, be sure to visit Fort Santiago and see the Rizal Museum there. Also be sure to see the very impressive San Augustin Cathedral, which is one of the oldest churches in the country, and which used to be a monastery. This is well worth the 75 pesos that it costs to get in to the church. The Manila Cathedral, also well worth a look, is free admission, and frequently holding Mass.

Intramuros was definately one of the highlights of my trip. So rich in history but yet kept up very well. Visited this area several times while I spent 4 months there for work. Great shopping as well right outside the front entrance and it's just for tourists with mostly native Filipino items.

hmmm some viewers says its not good and some says its good. as for me, i think intramuros has its own history IF YOU LOOK UP INSTEAD U LOOK DOWN FOR THE RUBBISH. i always love other culture mix of spanish,asian derived. intramuros indeed shows us what was before and honestly i love being there. they show how jose rizal last day before he was shot to death, brought along to Luneta...it was a true moment when i followed the path of rizal's 'foot-steps'for execution. i wud love to be there again when i visit manila. hopefully
