History of Intramuros

This is old money features the face of our national hero Dr. Jose Rizal. This money came from different countries.
We saw big church from FORT SANTIAGO. It was town first built by Spanish leader, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi  for the new established city of Manila in the Philippines. The defense fortress is part of the structures of the walled city of Manila referred to as INTRAMUROS. This wall saw the hardships of the people from the past and it's full of memories.
This is the BROCHURE of the fort santiago. you can see to this brochure the important details in the historical places. the map of the fort santiago is located at the back so the tourist will not astray on the place.
From our background The BALUARTE DE DILAO  was built as defense against the Chinese population living near the walled city. I saw a big and old "KANYON". 
 This picture taken at Rizal Shrine was houses a museum where mementoes of the hero can be viewed. from our back you will see different paintings happened to Rizal when he was before death. I feel so glad that I saw the painting and I'm so amazed how great the sacrifice made by our national Hero.
