Built by the Spaniards in 1571, Fort Santiago serves as one of the oldest defensive walls in Manila. It was declared a Shrine of Freedom in the 1950s and remains as one of the most iconic memorial places for soldiers and the freedom that Filipinos sought during World War II.

Fort Santiago features a number of historical attractions such as the Plaza Moriones, Ruins of the American Barracks, Museo ni Rizal, and more.
