· Beyond the Walls of Intramuros.



A few minutes away from Roxas Boulevard is the historic Intramuros walls. The
\'Walled City\' as Intramuros is also known, was initially a hub for Asian trade under
the rule of Rajah Soliman. After its expansion and completion in 1606, Intramuros
fell into the hands of Spanish colonizers, eventually serving as the country\'s
center of political, military and religious power. Intramuros is also home to Fort
Santiago, where Philippine national hero Jose Rizal was kept in seclusion before his
execution at what is now Luneta.
