Explore the highlights of this spectacular city beginning with a drive along scenic Roxas Boulevard to the Walled City of Intramuros. Here, you'll enjoy a guided tour of Fort Santiago. Built by Spanish conquistador Miguel López de Legazpi in 1571, the Spanish, British, American and Japanese occupation forces used the fort as their headquarters. Today, the citadel, which includes gardens, plazas, fountains, and lily ponds, has been recognized as a National Cultural Treasure and a Shrine of Freedom. Located just nine miles from Intramuros is the American Memorial Cemetery, the largest outside continental US honoring the sacrifices of the Filipinos and Americans during the WWII.
