Intramuros

The Philippines was under the Spanish rule for 666 years. And Intramuros in Manila was the center of politics, military and religion during that period. A Latin word that means “within the walls,” Intramuros was founded by Spanish explorer Miguel Lopez de Legazpi in 1571 after he and his army won a war over land settlement against the Islamic natives.
