Historical Places in The Philippines

1. Intramuros – It is also known as “Inside the wall”. It served as the center of the
Spanish occupation, originally built to be the residence for Spanish government
officials and their families. It was where the most influential and wealthy citizens
of colonial Manila lived.

2. Corregidor Island - a rocky island, strategically located at the entrance of

Manila Bay, just south of Bataan province, Luzon, Philippines. It is a national
shrine commemorating the battle fought there by U.S. and Filipino forces against
overwhelming numbers of Japanese during World War II.
3. Barasoain Church was founded by the Augustinian Missionaries in 1859 and
served as the session hall of Malolos Congress, the first congress in the
Philippines which was held on September 15, 1898 under the presidency of Pedro
Paterno.

4. Rizal Park- after the name of Dr. Jose Rizal, our national hero, as an honor and
tribute to him. It is also called Luneta Park because the area looks like a
crescent (Lunette). It is situated next to Intramuros, which was then a Spanish
fort that served as a buffer during rebellions.

5. Magellan’s Cross holds a very big part of the history of Cebu. It is believed to
be a Christian cross planted by the Portuguese and Spanish explorers headed by
Ferdinand Magellan. It was planted upon their arrival in Cebu on March 15,
1521. That day also marked the birth of Christianity in the land.
