Intramuros: A Brief Background

Intramuros, located along the southern bank of the Pasig

River, was built by the Spaniards in the 16th century and
is the oldest district of the city of Manila, the capital of the
Philippines. Its name, in Latin, intramuros, literally "within

city/fortress, also describes its structure as it is surrounded

Intramuros is located at the city of Manila, where some developments during the
colonial period still exists and or has recorded pictures in the archives.

Today, Hidalgo street near San Sebastian Church is the only remaining street where
Spanish houses lines the road perfectly.
