Revisiting La Ciudad Murada, Intramuros
Posted by on July 10, 2006
June 24 was Manila’s foundation day. What better way is it for me to celebrate this day than have a tour at the Grat Wall of Manila: The Walled City of Intramuros. To the Saniards, they call it, La Ciudad Murada.
I joined the Walls of this Content walking tour of Ivan ManDy of Old Manila Walks.
Tour participants met in front of Manila Cathedral. There was a wedding at that time, so I wasn’t able to snap a photograph of the famed cathedral. Our first stop is the Plaza Roma. A plaza, quite small compared to modern plazas, but very very rich in history. Plaza Roma has been a witness to several parties, celebrations and important gatherings in Intramuros during the Spanish Era.
