Fort Santiago
What the experts agree on
Fort Santiago offers a peaceful escape from Manila's chaos within historic Intramuros, where spacious grounds and the tragic story of national hero José Rizal's imprisonment create a compelling historical pilgrimage.
“There are wide open spaces and when you are on the grounds of Fort Santiago the hustle and bustle of Manila seams to disappear.”
