Ancient Fortress Meets Garden

#travellerswonderland Tucked within Intramuros, Baluarte de San Diego is a delightful blend of history and nature. The ancient stone walls date back to the 16th century and were part of Manila’s fortifications during the Spanish period. The site is now a lush garden with winding pathways, offering a peaceful retreat in the middle of a busy city. The views from the top of the fortress are breathtaking, providing a glimpse of Manila’s past and present. Tips: • What to Bring: A camera for stunning shots of the garden and the city skyline. • Best Time to Visit: Early morning or late afternoon for cooler weather and better lighting for photos. • Nearby: It’s close to other Intramuros attractions like Casa Manila and Fort Santiago, so plan to explore the whole area.
