Originally known as "Lagyo". In 1591, a chapel was constructed for Nuestra Señora de Guia. A Mexican hermit arrived in the place and lived in the chapel and people referred to it as "La Ermita".
Ermita was a fishing village prior to the arrival of the Spaniards. When the Spaniards moved out of Intramuros, they integrated with the Indios in Ermita and adjacent Malate and to a lesser extent, Paco. These became a fashionable residential areas in the Spanish era to the American era.
Today, Ermita is the heart of the tourist belt area, with countless restaurants, bars, clubs, handicraft stores and art galleries.
