In Fort Santiago - there is a musuem of Rizal - it is nicely done but then one is askd to sign a visitor's book whih also includes a list of donations patently over written by the monkey who stays there - showing that other visitors have given like 2000 php donations Donations for what ? I would like to know - one already pai to enter the fort - there is no information about what these donations are for? For the money who writes in later that I lft a donation of php 2000? Utter disgrace - same with the furniture museum - an entrance charge written on a sign by hand asking for php 10 - for who and for what ? again the management have no control over the staff Then there is a new sports complex being built next to the walls in concrete - could no be more inappropriate next to the early spanish walls Whole place is a disgrace and Rizal's role in the independence movement isnt just exagerated - it is down right wrong

Right in the heart of Manila's ocean front area. most of the old fort is open to expore unguided. They have a very nice shrine to Rizal. Its wonderful to walk the walls of the fort, and look out and imagine what Manila was like back in the colonial days. Still have some old cannons over looking the Pasig river. The churchs and statues are impressive also. Horse drawn carriges are avalible. Good place for souvineer shopping and picture taking. Some old spanish buildings still remain and also of course if your hungry they do have fast food in the old city.

I don't know what to say as a young girl growing up in that place it gives me an emotional feelings.The photos I've seen in the internet was not there when I was living in that place.It reminds me the past and thank you very much for putting those photos in the internet

If you visit Intramuros, be sure to visit Fort Santiago and see the Rizal Museum there. Also be sure to see the very impressive San Augustin Cathedral, which is one of the oldest churches in the country, and which used to be a monastery. This is well worth the 75 pesos that it costs to get in to the church. The Manila Cathedral, also well worth a look, is free admission, and frequently holding Mass.

fascinating and peaceful ambiance with lots of history to tell. A must see place when your looking for a quite ambiance and interested to learn more about philipppines history, part of stuffs here are old and has an story to tell , lots of things to know in this place. One of the historical place here in the country. Been here many time since my hiigh school and college days.

i liked the walls and the san agustin church.i wasnt able to go the fort thre though.i also recommend that if you plan to go thre to visit the bahay ni tsinoy (a museum that exhibits the links between chinese and filipino people.)i have lived in the philippines all of my life but still i had a lot to learn when i visited this place.i think that it is a must see for every pinoy and tourist..

Have heritage .... V special for me. worth to go if u stay in manila! it's hot to visit there for august but u can take a horse and it will travel u around the introumos

Intramuros was definately one of the highlights of my trip. So rich in history but yet kept up very well. Visited this area several times while I spent 4 months there for work. Great shopping as well right outside the front entrance and it's just for tourists with mostly native Filipino items.

hmmm some viewers says its not good and some says its good. as for me, i think intramuros has its own history IF YOU LOOK UP INSTEAD U LOOK DOWN FOR THE RUBBISH. i always love other culture mix of spanish,asian derived. intramuros indeed shows us what was before and honestly i love being there. they show how jose rizal last day before he was shot to death, brought along to Luneta...it was a true moment when i followed the path of rizal's 'foot-steps'for execution. i wud love to be there again when i visit manila. hopefully

gives us a glimpse of the past. captures the essence of what was Manila before and what is Manila today.It's beautiful perfect for relaxing and reflecting.
