City Shots 6 (2024)

One of my long overdue personal trips was one I spent in the Old City. I've made plans to visit the place before but due to unexpected upheavals (with me moving last year and all), it took until Lent 2024 for me to actually do so. If you haven't been following me, I have a longstanding interest in historic Philippine architecture which had its roots nearly 10 years ago when I started building colonial-themed houses in the Sims 3.

My trip was, like the one in 2022 before it, made during Lent. Unlike in 2022, however, I traveled alone, which gave me plenty of opportunities to explore Plaza San Luis and its neighbors.

I only had time to explore the area around Plaza San Luis and three of its museums (only two of which I elected to share). Inasmuch as I would want to take pictures of the rest of the city's museums (including the ones situated at Fort Santiago) and the other structures around the district, I ran out of time and energy due to how mercilessly hot the day was.

Like with my previous post, more information is shown under the cut.

The Old City of Intramuros (meaning "Within the Walls") was the nucleus of modern Manila, built over the flattened remains of the fortress city-state encountered by the conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legaspi in 1570. The city was the crown jewel of the Spanish Philippines and was once the home of the city's elite. Today, the city's residents comprise mostly of students and informal settlers, with the majority of people being tourists and the people who work in the businesses supporting the tourism industry.

Many of the sites in the city are in various states of ruin and restoration, very few of which besides the walls being the original structures at all. Most of the buildings in the city (including the entirety of Plaza San Luis) consist of reconstructed replicas. The Casa Manila Museum (the large yellow structure) isn't even based on a structure from the Old City but is a rebuilt building from a different district altogether.

The only building from the era that survived to be restored is San Agustin Church, the oldest surviving colonial stone structure in the country. Much of the Old City was destroyed toward the end of World War II.

83-2614 - Manila Catheral

This is the first sketch I did after the initial talk of Enrique Flores at the ICM workshop on Saturday. Enrique gave us 40 tips on sketching, one of which was about including people to give a sense of scale – so I deliberately included the crowds outside the Cathedral. For a change I also masked off the edges of this sketch before painting (instead of using a wobbly line)…got to get some washi…

Intramuros, Manila A place to hangout with your friends or family, and it can also remove you stress and problems when you go here Intramus is located to Metro Manila, Historic Intramuros is home to sites from the Spanish era, such as Fort Santiago, which has a huge stone gate and a shrine honoring José Rizal, the national hero.

Religious artwork and statues can be found in the San Agustin Church museum, while bronze carvings and stained glass windows can be found in the elaborate Manila Cathedral. Horse-drawn carriages (kalesa) travel the area's cobblestone streets, and Casa Manila museum is filled with art and furnishings from the Spanish colonial era. My Journey to this place is like having the feeling of being a time traveler lost in the echoes of the past as I strolled around the charming streets of Intramuros in Metro Manila. Every step on the cobblestone streets reverberated with the richness of Filipino heritage, and the weathered walls whispered stories of the legacy of Spanish colonization.

Rainy day in Intramuros

Intramuros, Manila

When visiting the Philippines, one should not forget to visit the walled city of Intramuros.

Known to be the settlement of the Spanish invaders for 333 years, this place have witnessed a lot of historical events of the country.

The most remarkable probably is the imprisonment site of the country's National Hero, José Rizal, in Fort Santiago.

The Intramuros Administration has established a museum dedicated to commemorate our National Hero. Here are some pictures I took when I visited the place with my boyfriend.

Of course, to make it worthwhile, we have also visited other historical structures like the Manila Cathedral and the San Agustin Church which are the only remaining out of the originally seven (7) churches that once stood within the walls.

We have also walked on the walls and saw some of the known universities, Colegio de San Juan de Letran - the oldest college in the Philippines, and the Lyceum of the Philippines University - the only university founded by a Philippine president José Laurel.
