Fort Santiago

Fort Santiago is the historic citadel guarding the mouth of the Pasig River within Manila's walled city of Intramuros, and the most important fortress in the Philippines. Built by Spanish colonists in the 16th century, its stone gate (emblazoned with a carved relief of St. James) opens onto well-kept gardens, ramparts, and ruins layered with the country's turbulent history. Above all, it is a shrine to José Rizal, the national hero, who was imprisoned in the fort before his execution in 1896; you can trace his final footsteps (marked in brass) to the spot of his death and visit the Rizal Shrine museum of his life and writings.

It's a peaceful, green, and deeply significant place, part historic fort, part memorial garden, and the highlight of an Intramuros visit. Allow time for the Rizal museum and the riverside ramparts.

历史背景

Built from 1571 by the Spanish as the defensive heart of Intramuros, Fort Santiago witnessed centuries of colonial history. José Rizal was held here before his 1896 execution that helped spark the Philippine Revolution. Badly damaged in WWII, it has been restored as a historic park and Rizal memorial.
