During my visit to Fort Santiago in Manila, I was captivated by its rich history and well-preserved architecture. Located in Intramuros, the fort is a powerful reminder of the Philippines’ colonial past. I strolled along the cobblestone paths, admiring the towering gates and ancient walls. The dungeons, though haunting, gave me insight into the fort’s turbulent history. One of the highlights was visiting the Rizal Shrine, which honors José Rizal, the country’s national hero. The serene gardens and lush greenery offered a peaceful retreat amidst the historic ambiance. Exploring Fort Santiago was a memorable experience, blending history, culture, and a sense of connection to the nation’s resilient spirit.
