Overview

The historical Fort Santiago has been a witness to many significant moments since its founding in 1571. The Fort Santiago tour in Intramuros is the best way to know about the “Walled City’s” historical moments. Built by the Spanish as a citadel, Fort Santiago was also occupied by the British, Japanese, and American occupation. See the museum dedicated to national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, who was kept in the fort’s underground dungeons and executed here. Fort Santiago now stands as a beautiful historical monument with plazas, fortified walls, cannons, and views of the Pasig River.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Colonial Architecture & Grandeur

Miguel López de Legazpi, a Spanish conquistador, built Fort Santiago as a military defense for Manila. The Fort also has a moat that you see right at the start. Spanish architecture is very evident throughout the fortifications and even the dungeons. Despite its military importance, the fort also boasts stunning gardens and plazas that add to its charm and grandeur.

The Rizal Shrine Museum

One of the most important figures in the Philippines' history, Dr. Rizal has a museum here dedicated to his poetry, other writings, and his last days. His last walk from his dungeon to his execution has been immortalized with bronze footprints. The museum also has his memorabilia, artwork, manuscripts, and books. This place is a fantastic history lesson on the Philippines' struggle for freedom.

The Beauty of Plaza Moriones

One of the most beautiful plazas at Fort Santiago, the Plaza Moriones, apart from its beauty and openness, also served a military purpose by providing sweeping views of approaching enemies. Today, the plaza serves as a welcoming gateway to the fort, a landscaped garden, and a public park where many gatherings are held. It is one of the best features at Fort Santiago.
