Located in Old Manila, the walled city of Intramuros was built by the Spanish in 1571. Fort Santiago is one of the main attractions inside the walls. Don't miss the cell where national hero José Rizal spent his last days in 1896.
Before the bombings of the Second World War, Intramuros was among the world's best preserved medieval cities. Today, dungeons and old churches share space with art galleries, theatres and a nature park. Along with Fort Santiago, notable attractions include the grand Manila Cathedral, the San Agustin Church and the church of the Immaculate Conception, one of the four Philippine Baroque Churches inscribed in UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites.
