Intramuros: The Walls & Baluartes

📍Intramuros, Manila

Intramuros, literally means “within the walls”. It is a historic fortified city in Manila. The oldest and most important district back then, and serving as the centre of Spanish colonial rule (est 1571).

We explored the Philippines’ rich past with the newlyweds Alex & Gab. Gab did his thesis about Intramuros when he was taking Architecture in uni, and so he stepped up and played tourguide. (He was great! it’s like stepping back in time & seeing it with fresh eyes!)

Amazing architecture — from universities, churches & cathedrals, heritage homes, forts, museums, and more. Love to see Alex immersing in Philippine history!Read more
