Intramuros, The Heart of Spanish Manila

Main entrance of Fuerzá de Santiago (Fort Santiago). Restored after World War II by the Intramuros Administration. It's frustrating to know that a lot of the country's historical treasures were destroyed in the war. Anyway, it bears the original Coat of Arms of the Insigne y Siempre Leal Ciudad de Manila (Distinguished & Ever Loyal City of Manila), conceded in 1596.
