Tourist Spot Destinations
Rizal Park
During the Spanish era, which was where the Filipinos-Moslems
took refuge after the Spaniards occupied Intramuros in 1571. It
was also used as an execution ground by the Spaniards for Filipino
rebels and mutineers. It has an area of 58 hectares which runs
from Taft Avenue up to the walls of the famous Manila Bay.
Fort Santiago
Marks its entrance on the northwestern trip to Instramuros which
started in 1571 and completed nearly 150 years later by Filipino
forced labor. The pre-Spanish settlement of Rajah Sulayman was
a wooden fort on the ashes of which was built the Spanish fortress
which was Spain's major defense position in the island. It looked
out on the sea, towards which its canons were trained forward
off pirates and invaders. Also known as the "Shrine of Freedom",

the Spanish and Japanese eras. Partly rebuilt from the ruins of
World
War II, it is now a park and promenade housing a resident
theaters for both traditional and modern plays.
