  • San Agustine Courtyard, Intramuros Manila - Intramuros is located along the bank of the Pasig River, and was built by the Spaniards in the 16th century.  Intramuros is the oldest district of the city of Manila.  Its name, in Spanish, means literally "within the walls", meaning within the wall enclosure of the city fortress, which also describes its structure as it is surrounded by thick, high walls and moats. During the Spanish colonial period, Intramuros was considered Manila itself.

  • Windows made of capiz shells were originally chosen because it was cheaper to make windows of capiz than glass during the Spanish Colonial period of the Philippines.  They continued to be made, however, thanks to their ability to allow enough light through and their strength in holding up to typhoons.
