Heritage Sites in Manila

Manila boasts a remarkable collection of heritage sites, anchored by the walled city of Intramuros — a 16th-century Spanish colonial district. The UNESCO World Heritage-listed San Agustin Church, the baroque Manila Cathedral, and the cobblestoned streets of Casa Manila offer a glimpse into the colonial past. Beyond Intramuros, heritage gems like Quiapo, Escolta Street, and the ancestral houses of Paco tell the story of a city that has endured earthquakes, wars, and modernization while preserving fragments of its architectural legacy.
