Located in the Philippine capital of Manila, Fort Santiago is a historical structure that is part of the city’s famous walled site known as Intramuros. Constructed by Miguel López de Legazpi as part of the city’s fortifications, this site is located at the mouth of Pasig River which was chosen since it gave ideal protection against marauding enemies and pirates. Among the sites of interest within Fort Santiago include the Rizal Shrine, dungeons and a scenic park area.
