INTRAMUROS, MANILA

Entering the 'Intramuros City' - The city in Manila City - makes me feel like I am in another world. It's totally different with Manila City.

"Intramuros is the oldest district of the present day city of Manila, the capital of the Republic of the Philippines. Nicknamed the "Walled City", Intramuros is the historic fortified city of Manila during the Spanish Colonial Period. Located then along Manila Bay and south of the mouth of Pasig River, its thick defensive walls were built by the Spaniards in the 16th century to protect the city from invasion. Its name in Spanish, intramuros, literally "within the walls", meaning a city enclosed by thick, high walls and surrounded by moats.[2]" - Source: Wikipedia

To feel the real experience, you have to go there and see them yourself. Actually, we didn't finish visiting whole Museum. There's another 2nd Floor but we're too tired.
