🏰 Fort Santiago
📍 Intramuros, Manila
Entrance Fee & Guide: https://bit.ly/FortSantiagoGuide
Fort Santiago is one of the oldest fortifications in Manila built by the Spaniards in 1571 from what was once a palisaded structure of logs and earth built by Rajah Soliman on the native settlement called Maynila.
The fort was destroyed in 1574 during the Chinese attack led by Limahong. The stone fort was built between 1589 and 1592 and was repaired and extended after being damaged by the 1645 earthquake.
José Rizal, one of the Philippine national heroes, was imprisoned here before his execution in 1896.
After its destruction during WWII, Fort Santiago was declared as a Shrine of Freedom in 1950. Its restoration by the Philippine government did not begin till 1953 under the hands of the National Parks Development Committee.
