Hey Guys, happy weekend! I'm not sure whether you're all enjoying your weekends due to the inclement weather outside, but I hope you're all productive, safe, and well. Anyway, I don't have anything to contribute right now, but while I was going through my Gdrive, I came across some photographs that struck my interest and I wanted to share them with you. Because some of us are unable to go for a walk outside due to the weather, allow me to take you on a tour.
Presenting... Intramuros Manila!
Intramuros is located in the Manila District and is one of the most well-known heritage sites in the Philippines, as well as the home of Spanish-era structures such as Fort Santiago. I recall visiting Intramuros a few of times when I was younger, but because it was so long ago, I can't recall which dungeons my family and I visited. But when I met my partner, we decided to return to this magnificent place.
Our first stop was in Puerta and Revillin Del Parian Green Garden. Honestly, We did not expect that it was a garden. We first thought that it was a small dungeon. But as soon as we got inside, we got amazed by the beautiful scenery that welcomed us.
And here's an old cannon displayed on the other part of this dungeon.
We also got a chance to visit the Manila Cathedral but we did not go inside coz there's an ongoing wedding at the church. However, some peeps are still around to take some photos.
Sorry for the photobomber, it's just me, the model. Kidding!
Anyways, after some walking, we headed now to Fort Santiago. This is where we can see the white cross, other dungeons, shrine of our national hero, Jose Rizal and his footsteps to his execution area.
Here's the statue of Jose Rizal. I am not sure if this is the area where he was executed
This is the White Cross. This statue was built for the mass grave of 600 soldier who was found lifeless in the dungeons last World War II.
Our last stop was the Plaza Moriones. An instagram worthy place but at that time, we only took few pics here since our phones was getting drained.
And that's our Intramuros journey wayback February 2020. I am still hoping to come back in this place again since there are still dungeons that I would like to visit. By the way, before I forgot, some dungeons has an entrance fee. And if ever that you want to go here, bring some water and expect 10000 plus steps or more. And for the friendly advice, beware for some pedicab scammers. 🤗
That wraps up everything and once again, thank you so much for stopping by! 🙌
