Founded in 1571, Manila is one of the Philippines’ oldest cities. Its storied history is evident in Intramuros, its walled old town—dominated by the formidable Fort Santiago, once the prison of Philippine national hero José Rizal, it reflects Manila’s past as a seat of power for the Spanish Empire. Nearby, the UNESCO-listed San Agustin Church stands as an enduring symbol of resilience, one of few structures in Intramuros to survive centuries of seismic activity and wartime destruction entirely intact—today, it provides an authentic glimpse into Manila’s early colonial era.
