Intramuros Manila : Now and then
Intramuros is a very cool, and historical place in Manila, Philippines. The name itself means "Within the Walls" because the place is protected by a big barricade that is made of stone. It serves as a protection against the enemies during the Spanish colonial period. Schools like Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, Colegio de San Juan Letran, Manila High School, and Colegio de Sta Rosa, are the remaining schools found inside Intramuros since the Spanish Colonial Period. Churches like Manila Cathedral and San Agustin church are the pioneer churches found in the Walled city.
