- In this Site we detail what is unique about Manila. The
attractions of Manila today have been cast by its history hundreds of
years before. Modern Manila offers little that is different.
Accordingly one needs to understand the history of Manila and hence
what to see, where to find it and appreciate it.
- The
monuments of the Spanish colonization period are essentially all that
is worth seeing in Manila today. The greatest attraction is the old
fortified city of Intramuras.
This is a unique attraction in Asia and within its walls includes
numerous buildings and street ways of great heritage value, especially
the UNESCO World Heritage Site of San Augustin.
