Intramuros Manila Philippines Historical Entertainment
Intramuros Manila Philippines
Intramuros is Manila's most historically significant entertainment district — the original walled city of Manila built by Spanish colonizers in 1571 on the banks of the Pasig River, where Spanish colonial stone walls, Fort Santiago (where José Rizal was imprisoned before his execution), the Manila Cathedral, and San Agustin Church (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) create the most historically rich entertainment environment in the Philippines. Intramuros' extraordinary Spanish colonial heritage and its remarkable contemporary revitalization as a cultural tourism and dining destination create an entertainment district of considerable Philippine heritage significance.
