Fort Santiago: A Walk Through History in Manila

#manilatrip Visiting Fort Santiago felt like stepping back in time. Located within Intramuros, this historic fortress tells powerful stories of the Philippines' colonial past. The cobblestone paths, thick stone walls, and well-preserved gates create an atmosphere of quiet reflection. I was especially moved by the Rizal Shrine, which honors the life and final footsteps of national hero José Rizal. The gardens and river views add a peaceful contrast to the fort’s heavy history. It’s a place where you can learn, reflect, and appreciate the country’s journey. A must-visit for history lovers and anyone wanting a deeper look into Manila’s heritage.
