Medieval Spanish Architecture | A Journey Back in Time in Manila's Walled City

Strolling through Intramuros (Manila's Walled City) feels like stepping back into the Spanish colonial era of the Middle Ages. Cobblestone streets, wrought iron balconies, heavy wooden doors, and arched windows all showcase the rich Spanish colonial architectural style. Landmarks like Casa Manila and Barbara’s Heritage Restaurant preserve elegant stone walls, intricately carved wooden staircases, and opulent chandeliers, blending the romance of European courts with the vibrant spirit of the Philippines. As night falls, the lighting adds a solemn and nostalgic atmosphere, making it a perfect destination to experience the beauty of Manila's history and architecture. 📍Intramuros, Manila
