In the Philippines
Spanish Colonial Period (1565-1898):
During Spanish colonization, civil engineering in the Philippines was primarily focused
on building structures for the Spanish administration, military fortifications, and religious
institutions. The Spanish introduced European architectural and engineering styles to
the Philippines, resulting in the construction of notable structures such as churches,
bridges, roads, and fortresses. The most iconic example is the Intramuros, the walled
city in Manila, which was built as a defensive structure. Spanish engineers also
constructed the Puente Colgante (now known as the Quezon Bridge), which was the
first steel suspension bridge in the country.
