More than the usual historic city

Spain’s colonization of the Philippines brought about the construction of Intamuros in 1571, a “Walled City” comprised of European buildings and churches. Today it is one of the world’s best preserved medieval cities, replicated in different parts of the archipelago. Walk through this walled Spanish colonial “city within a city,” situated right in the heart of Manila, complete with centuries-old walls, dungeons, churches, bulwarks, and plazas.
