This fort was initially completed in 1594 and was intended to overlook the Manila bay. Its size and strength eventually became a symbol for the power of Spanish rule – however it was invaded and briefly controlled by the British from 1762. The 3 concentric circles, intended to provide a maze-like mystery have become an iconic national treasure of the country. Don’t forget to also walk around the gardens and read up on the history! In mid-2019, we paid 75 pesos as an entrance fee.
This historical landmark is a great teacher for everyone who wants to learn about what happened in the past. The war, the popular leaders and some kind or defensive structures and etc; but some of the former leaders of the Republic of the Philippines don't have there own 2D carved picture. I think it could be under maintenance of something.
It's been my first time to visit Baluarte De San Diego though it's been my 3 times to visit Manila for some paper works! I just love this place! It is so amazing to see, how this structures mange to stands so strong for a hundreds of centuries! History is amazing right? Some structures that are worth to check too, on your way to Baluarte De San Diego and make it sure you go inside the big Church to offer some prayers
perfect for taking pictures with the golf course in the background or just soaking in the history of Manila
I came here in 2017, a taxi driver suggested me to come to this place. It's a beautiful place, looking at the remains of an ancient fortress.
Built in the 16th century by a Jesuit priest. Originally it was a circular fort and one of the oldest stone fortifications within the intramural district. During the 18th century a foundry housed there of which some old tools can still be seen nowadays . The Baluarte was heavily dammaged after the British attack in 1760 and another time during the earthquake of 1863. It was completely destroyed during the Battle of Manila in 1945. The restauration took many years and finished in 1992. Since then the place is mainly used for wedding celebrations.
Nice historical area. Great area to walk around and check out the relics.
