A few minutes’ drive, you will arrive at the resilient Fort Santiago, the main headquarters of the Spanish government during the 17th century. As you continue your exploration of Manila, take a stroll back in time along cobbled streets to visit a few favorites such as Manila Cathedral, Casa Manila – a replica of a 17th century house during the late Spanish colonial period, San Augustin Church along with its museum, and Baluarte de Dilao, which still showcases the canyon relics used to defend the walled city. If you’re up for a challenge, you can sign up for a running tour along the historic walls where you’ll be able to view the Presidential Gallery and other historical heritage buildings.
