Fort Santiago Review

Historical park with a lot of greenery. For history enthusiasts, highlights include the Rizal Museum and underground tunnels detailing Japanese atrocities during WWII. You also get a great view of the river.

If you like going to museums and historical sites then definitely Fort Santiago is worth a visit! I would recommend this place for those people visiting Manila. Worth a visit!!

Fort Santiago is a fascinating destination where you can immerse yourself in the rich history of early Manila and gain insight into the struggles faced by the Filipino people during the colonial era. It’s a must-visit site, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in history and culture.Business Hours: • Monday to Friday: 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM (last entry at 8:00 PM) • Saturday and Sunday: 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM (last entry at 8:30 PM)Address:HXVC+M5V, Intramuros, Manila, 1002 Metro Manila

Fort Santiago is Manila's ancient royal city. In 1590, the Spanish Governor Santiago converted the wooden fence-enclosed castle into a stone castle with a moat outside, a tower on the wall up to 10 meters thick, and a fortress. The Rizha Memorial Hall in the castle is a two-storey Spanish-style building, displaying the materials and documents before the birth of the Rizha. There were countless Filipino patriots imprisoned here, including the national hero Joss &, who died in a dark, depressing cell at Risha. Located in the famous province of Cebu, it is a Spanish-style building, which belongs to the typical Baroque architecture. It was built by Spain during the colonial rule of the Philippines and is also a symbol of the colonial rule of the Philippines at that time. We can find in our travels here that this kind of building is divided into two layers. The upper layer is the living area, while the lower layer is the office area, and the back is a huge garden. It has been well preserved. It is a good choice for us to travel. The city wall is also very magnificent, and behind it there is a huge moat, which is wide enough to withstand all kinds of weapons that could harm the city pool at that time. Because there are many places about the famous Filipino rebels, so there are many documents about the history of the introduction and records here, we can get a lot of relevant introductions in the tourism here, and add a lot of knowledge to our travel. Santiago tourism is a good choice for us during the holidays. It is not only a romantic trip, but also a baptism of history. We can understand the colonial culture of a period and experience the vicissitudes of a city. We should also pay attention to the time of travel here. We should come here between December and May next year, because the rest of the year belongs to typhoon time. Typhoon has a great impact on this area, and the period between December and May is when the Philippines is cooler. It's a good time to travel. We can feel the lost time in the castle of San Diego, and we believe that the tour here will leave us many good memories.

Today's Santiago Castle has become a park and tourist attraction. In that year, a wide golf course was built on the land outside the city wall. The original barracks and churches have been transformed into performance halls. Sculptures, souvenir shops and cafes have been added to the park. The prison of Philippine hero Lisha and many patriots has been transformed into a memorial hall of Lisha, with some articles used by Lisha and literary works created in the prison. In 2011, the admission fare of Santiago Castle is 75 pesos for adults and 50 Pesos for children; the opening time is 08:00-18:00.

we need not travel far frommanila have an adventure. Located in the heart of Old Manila, Intramuros Manila (“within the walls” when translated literally from Spanish) is one of the Philippines’ biggest cultural and historical landmarks.The Walled City and its famous citadel Fort Santiago were the seat of government during the Spanish colonial period. Now, it is still very much a living, breathing city with universities, government offices, banks, hotels, and restaurants—and it is well worth the visit. The best part is you can enjoy most parts of Intramuros Manila without breaking the bank!
