OVERVIEW
Statue inside Fort Santiago in Intramuros
Intramuros, Latin for “inside the walls”, is a historic walled area constructed by the Spanish Imperial Government in the late 16th century. The walls aimed to protect the area from invasions and also served as the seat of government during Spanish colonization.
During the Battle of Manila during World War II, Intramuros was badly destroyed by the Japanese Imperial Army. Among the several structures including churches, schools, government buildings, and houses, only the historic San Agustin Church survived and is now recognized as one of the oldest Catholic Churches in the Philippines.
Aside from San Agustin Church, there are several other structures presently found within the walls of Intramuros. Lyceum of the Philippines University, Colegio de San Juan de Letrán, Mapúa Institute of Technology, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, and Manila Cathedral are located in Intramuros. Several monuments, government buildings such as the Bureau of Immigration Head Office, museums, business offices, restaurants, and hotels are also found in the area.
