Fort Santiago
Santa Clara Street, (Intramuros), Manila, PhilippinesTel: +63 2 527 1572 • Web: Visit this site »
Erected over the palisade of the last king of pre-Hispanic Manila, Fort Santiago embodied the military might of Spanish colonial rule for over three centuries. It was occupied by British forces for a two-year period in the 18th century and by American colonial authorities after Spain surrendered the Philippines to the U.S.A in 1898. Destroyed during World War II, Fort Santiago was restored into a "Shrine of Freedom" following a 1950 governmental decree. Fort Santiago contains many points of historical interest. Admission: Adults PHP40; children and students PHP15.

“I visited the Philippines for three weeks, and just arrived to the USA. Fort San Santiago was the best attraction for me and the park where the Rival was shot. Awesome place to visit. I'm going next year to finish the tour.”
