Fort Santiago

About 10 minutes walk from Manila Cathedral, the entrance fee of 75 pesos is not expensive, it is a reasonable attraction. The castle is deserted and there is not much to see. It mainly visits its underground treasures and tells the abuse of prisoners by the Japanese army in World War II. It is also a little shadow after watching it.

it's amazing place , very relaxing ..summer vacation with my Family and Friends

几个世纪前，远在欧洲的西班牙殖民者来到了东方的这块土地。为了长期占有，西班牙人建造了这座城堡要塞。但是堡垒虽然坚固，而后来的战争结果却是西班牙人让位给了美国人，美国人在二战初期又让位给了日本人。如今的城堡虽历经战火的破坏，但是仍然随处可见城墙和炮台以及众多深幽的地牢。我们无从知晓二战时期日本侵略者曾关押过多少百姓和游击队员，但我们能想象他们渴望自由的眼神和呼喊。菲律宾独立后这里辟为了一个旅游景点，成了马尼拉旅游的必到之处。
